"It's called fate, and it's great. That's an easy way to remember it."
– Tina Belcher
As with many modern love stories — we met on Hinge.
Fate decided to give us a little boost when we realized we lived just seven blocks apart on the Upper West Side in New York City. Our first date was planned as casual coffee in Central Park on the first warm, sunny day of spring. But it turned into something much more memorable, complete with piña coladas at Tiki Chick and hours of conversation that felt effortless and familiar. It was one of those rare days where time slipped away and being together just felt… right.
From that moment on, there was no going back. We fell in love over shared playlists (shout out to Sammy Rae and The Friends), surprise date nights, Star Wars marathons, improvised jingles, about 20 rewatches of Bob's Burgers, and more giggles than we'd care to admit.
What began as a simple match on an app quickly grew into a deep friendship, a true partnership, and a love that continues to surprise and inspire us every day. Being together feels like home — safe, joyful, and full of laughter — and we truly can’t wait to begin this next chapter and our forever, hand in hand with smiles from ear to ear.
