It all began in quintessential Millennial fashion—on Hinge, where fate intervened and brought us together through a simple swipe. From the moment we matched, we knew there was something special about each other. Our first date was a perfect blend of excitement and nervousness, as we ventured to a vibrant barcade filled with retro games and endless possibilities. Amidst the flashing lights and cheerful ambiance, our connection deepened with every shared laugh and playful competition. Despite Brian’s demanding residency schedule, we made it a priority to spend time together. We cherished every stolen moment, whether it was a spontaneous coffee date in the early hours of the morning or a cozy night in binge-watching horror movies. Our bond only grew stronger as we navigated the challenges of conflicting schedules, finding solace and joy in each other’s presence. Our journey has been filled with countless adventures and heartwarming moments. From road trips to new cities to impromptu picnics in the park to our engagement in Hawaii, we’ve embraced every opportunity to create lasting memories together. Through it all, there has always been an undeniable ease and understanding between us that makes every moment feel like home. As we take this next step, we are filled with gratitude for the love we’ve found in each other. With your love and support, we look forward to writing the next chapter of our story—a chapter filled with love, laughter, and endless adventures. Thank you for being a part of our journey. With all our love, Brian and Jess
