As fate would have it, our paths crossed on the digital streets of Hinge. Suddenly, a simple swipe led to a magical match – and little did we know, our love story was about to hatch. Before we knew it, we were making plans for our first date. Imperial was the chosen spot, known for their margaritas and tacos- Courtney’s favorite. But as Courtney rushed in late, flustered and embarrassed, Derek patiently waited with a heart full of understanding and a smile so endearing. We couldn't help but feel a spark of instant attraction. From that moment on, we couldn't resist the pull of fate. Our shared love for our families, traveling, sports, and trying new restaurants created memories that will last a lifetime. Derek proposed at the Monarch Club rooftop overlooking Ford Field (his second love). Courtney couldn't say "yes" fast enough. Our families were there to surprise Courtney after! To all of our wedding guests, your love and support mean the world to us, and we can't wait to celebrate this special day with all of you. Thank you for being a part of our love story, and we can't wait to see you on the dance floor on November 8th. With love, Courtney and Derek.
