We matched on OKCupid right after Valentine’s Day 2024, and from the very first messages, everything just clicked. We bonded instantly over our shared love of music, good food, and the kind of earnest, open conversations that feel rare in dating apps. What started as easy communication quickly turned into hours of texting about our favorite songs, books, travel, dream meals, family, and the little things that make life meaningful.

Then came the fun plot twist: we discovered we share the exact same birthday (just different years). The coincidence felt like the universe was winking at us. From that moment on, we were both equally excited (and a little nervous) to finally meet in person.

Our first date lasted more than 3 hours!

The rest, as they say, is history. What began as a hopeful swipe turned into day-long conversations, museum and music adventures, endless laughter, and the deep kind of love that makes you feel truly seen. We’re so grateful that two people who were looking for connection found something even better in each other.
