Our Story
We met on Tinder in March 2024. So yes, sometimes the apps do deliver.
Whit messaged first. I told her I wasn’t ready to meet just yet, that I was doing some deep work in therapy and needed about a month. I knew that if I met her, it wouldn’t be casual. I could already tell she was the kind of person who shows up fully, and I’d want to do the same. She told me that was sexy, and said she’d wait.
And she did.
A month later, she sent a message just checking in. No pressure, just care, and I was ready. We talked for a week, and then met in person when she was in Seattle for a dance weekend. There were sparks immediately. We wandered cafes and city streets, completely immersed in one another.
​
As our conversations deepened, so did our trust. And pretty quickly, it became clear: this wasn’t just connection, it was transformation. We helped each other see patterns we wanted to shift. We celebrated each other’s growth. We made space for honesty, even when it was hard. And most importantly, we kept showing up.
We moved in together that summer, and from the beginning we’ve committed to doing the work, both individually and together, to create something healthy, loving, and real. We have therapy dates, kitchen dance parties, garden days, and projects side by side. We talk about everything, cheer each other on, and we honor the ways we’re different, whether that means giving each other space to dance, camp, create, or just be.
I proposed to Whit first through a passage in a book, and then again (on one knee) at the sacred dance space that lights her up. She said yes (twice!).
What we’re building is rooted in love: for ourselves, for each other, and for the life we’re creating. We’re so excited to celebrate this next chapter surrounded by the people who’ve held us, shaped us, and cheered us on.
As you join us on our wedding day,
We hope you can feel the joy.
We hope it fills you up.
And we hope you dance.
