Our Wedding

Kristian and Brittney matched on Hinge in November 2022. In typical online dating fashion, they exchanged messages here and there before Britt sent her number through to Kristian in March. Their first date was at Sparrow in March 2023.Given Kristian was moving back to Michigan that summer, they kept it casual until actually going separate ways for several months. In December 2023, Kristian reached out to Britt and they rekindled their relationship.Since then, Kristian and Brittney have kept a strong long-distance relationship with Kristian based in Michigan and Britt based in Chicago, Indianapolis or Minneapolis.They are excited to get under one roof in one city very soon!

We Met in Chicago!
