BRAD & DIANIA

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



June 1, 2024

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once upon a time, a midwestern gentleman and a fast-talking gal from Jersey
swiped right.

That’s right, they met on Bumble!

At the time Brad was newly single, and Diania was at the end of her rope after
dating duds for 5 years.

She decided to change her dating criteria and seek out a man of integrity. She
didn’t care what he looked like, what he did for a living, where he was from, or
how tall he was. From her perspective, she thought it would be like looking for
a needle in a haystack.

It turns out that a Greek god some people refer to as “Bird” who looks like a
mix between Chris Pratt and a Berenstain bear was about to show her how easy it
could be.

Diania also tried a new tactic on the dating apps. Immediately after she matched
with someone, she suggested they hop on the phone for a quick chat. This
eliminated about 99% of her matches. Apparently, talking on the phone is some
scary shit.

But it didn’t scare Brad. He agreed to a call right away, as he sat in his car
in a Whole Foods parking lot. He then charmed Diania into a first date the very
next day.

They are now getting married on the 6th year anniversary of that first date.

And they can’t wait to celebrate with you!

We love being at home with our animals and this 11-year-old cutie named Devin.

vacations, really good food, and finding ways to get weird with our friends and
family.
