Our Wedding

As all modern love stories do, Riley and Shelby’s began on Hinge (a dating app). They talked for a few weeks before Riley asked Shelby to go on their first date. They met for drinks at Declan’s Irish Pub in Chicago. They were supposed to go to dinner after but couldn’t stop talking and didn’t even realize they missed their reservation. The next day, Riley thought of another way to see Shelby. He thought that making an excuse of going to the post office downtown could give him another chance to see her…. It was a Sunday, and the post office was closed. It was clear to Shelby that he obviously wanted to see her the next day, which flattered her. She agreed, and they have been inseparable since.
