I knew I wanted to ‘swipe right’ when his profile said he made top-notch Spotify playlists and had a great credit score :)

Finding LOVE in a hopeless place

We met online, during COVID.

There we said it. We weren’t fortunate enough to meet in the wild, but the algorithm gods had something in store for us. We matched, had a couple FaceTime dates and decided we wanted to meet up. There was an instant spark between us that has since grown into a flame. We have been able to grow with each other, challenge ourselves, argue and make up, share our love for music (even though Ashley doesn’t know ANY words to the songs we sing), our families have welcomed each of us with open arms - if they’re a Thompson/Chinburg/Diego or Mascardo’s doesn’t matter they consider the each of us FAMILY, moved into a house, got a Dua, surrounded ourselves with a supporting cast of friends that INSPIRE US, and are now getting hitched.

And we’re just getting started…

We chose the Bowl as our backdrop for these photos because of the history, natural beauty, and the countless times we’ve spent dancing with each other and friends. But also because this was the first place we said ‘I love you’ to one another.
