We met on Tinder. One swipe. Zero expectations. & NO kiss on the first date (Ian's choice hehe)! What started as a casual match quickly turned into something real — and somewhere between long conversations, spontaneous adventures, and falling in love in Santa Cruz, we realized this was not just a “fun while it lasts” situation.

Danielle is big ideas, bold energy, and a calendar that somehow runs her life. Ian is quite the opposite, perfect to keep Danielle grounded and in tune with staying present and in the moment. Opposites attract — and in our case, they balance each other perfectly.

From beach days and road trips to building a life that feels intentional and fun, over 7 years (and counting) we’ve grown together in ways we never expected from a dating app match. And now, here we are — planning a wedding in St. Helena, surrounded by the people who have loved us through every chapter.

All because of a swipe.
