Their Story - Our story began in a way that neither of us ever thought would happen. Haley and I matched on Bumble (a dating app) in October of 2018. After communicating via Bumble for a little while we eventually made plans to meet each other in person. One Sunday evening we met at Joy of Tokyo for dinner. We enjoyed a short time of getting to know each other while indulging into our hibachi plates. Our time was cut short when Haley was called into work. But it wasn’t long after that before we got together again. Next thing you know, we are texting each other on a daily basis and began spending more and more time together. A couple of months passed and I had yet to kiss Haley. On New Years Eve Haley texted me from work “Happy New Year” with the kiss face emoji. I figured that was the green light for me to go for it. The next time we were together I asked Haley if I could cash in on my “Happy New Year” kiss, to which she responded “Yes, please do.” Come to find out she had been waiting on me to kiss her and was beginning to wonder if I was ever going to do so. More time went by and I eventually worked up the nerve to ask Haley to be my girlfriend. To which she responded, “I’m just not ready yet.” OUCH! Fortunately it wasn’t much longer down the road that we had another conversation and decided to make our relationship “official”…yep, we were boyfriend/girlfriend. After that, our relationship grew deeper and deeper. We found out that we were very fortunate to have our parents and families approval of each other. In fact, we enjoyed spending time with each other’s family and eventually had our families get together on multiple occasions. Haley and I prayed (pretty much on a daily basis) about our relationship and made it a point that we wanted God to be at the center of our relationship. As time went on talks of getting engaged and married took place. After 15 months of dating, I finally popped the question on April 17th, 2020. On that evening, while watching the sunset at my house, I proposed to Haley and she said yes. It was such as special time as our families were there to witness it and celebrate with us. After almost a 6 month engagement, we have finally arrived at our wedding day. We are so excited to begin this next chapter of our lives together.
