Unlike other Bumble love stories, it was not "Love at First Swipe" for us. Jeff and I matched on a dating website back in 2016 and started texting, but never met in person and our connection faded over the phone. Fast forward a couple months and some coworkers and I went in to Buffalo Wild Wings in Irvine after a late night at work for a drink. Unbeknownst to me- Jeff was sitting at the host stand. Jeff automatically recognized me and asked me out on a date which is when I realized I did "know" him after seeing his number was already saved in my phone. We went out to see a live band one night, and I never heard back from Jeff after our first date. Fast forward to mid 2018, I had just moved to San Diego to start nursing school. Jeff and I still followed each other on social media and Jeff noticed that I had moved to San Diego, and better yet, had a golden retriever. Jeff messaged me to catch up and shared that he was moving to San Diego soon and that we should get together to catch up. We both realized quickly after meeting again that we had a big connection and were quick to fall for one another. Fast forward through nursing school, a pandemic, 2 golden retrievers together, career changes and all kinds of life events, we can't wait to celebrate with our loved ones at our wedding!
