Story
Autumn: I met Jordan on Tinder after super liking him. He thought it was a mistake, but I super liked not only for him, but for the dog he was holding in his profile photo. Turns out that dog ended up being his Father's, but it was enough to reel me in. On our first date, I actually had an allergic reaction to my cocktail. He still wanted to hang out though, even though my reaction was definitely taking hold and I looked ridiculous. We've been together ever since and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Jordan: I knew I was falling for Autumn very early on when we were dating. On our third date we planned to meet up at the Brooklyn Museum to see the David Bowie exhibit. However I knew that I wanted to improve my apartment to impress her. Since I didn't have time to go home after work, I brought new pillows that I bought at work to the Brooklyn Museum. We walked around the museum carrying these big pillows the entire time. Afterwards, I found out that I could have checked the pillows at the museum. Still It was part of our early romance, and I regret nothing.
Tidbits
Who's going to take out the trash?
Definitely Jordan, sorry babe.
What was your most memorable date?
Autumn: I liked the Rainbow Room in NYC for our anniversary. We got all dressed up. Someone on the subway asked if we were going to prom on the way there. Jordan was turning 31 that year, so we were pretty proud of that one.
Jordan: For my birthday one year we went to Coney Island. It was great seeing this weird old New York institution through the eyes of someone who was totally unfamiliar. Plus the rides were really fun!
What's your favorite activity together?
Curling up on the couch with a good show.
Where are you going for your honeymoon?
We are doing a mini-moon at Cocobay Resort in Antigua immediately after the wedding.
What's the best meal you have eaten together?
Probably a meal we had on vacation at Banyan Tree Mayakoba in Mexico. It was worth the sticker shock.
What's the most memorable trip you have taken together?
Autumn: I'd still say our first trip within the states to Vegas was special because it was our first vacation together. We were in such puppy love the entire time.
Jordan: It was such a treat to visit Autumn's family in California. Throughout my stay, I felt incredibly welcomed and loved, like I was already part of the family.
We take pride in
Nugget, our little bichpoo! She has brought such joy into our lives and relationship.
