On a random Thursday night in January of 2020, Aaron and Hallie matched on the classiest dating app on the market... Tinder! There seemed to be an instant connection as the two had one big thing in common: they were both Florida State University alum's attending the University of Florida for their post-graduate degrees. After exchanging a variety of messages throughout the night, Aaron asked for Hallie's number and proceeded to take her out on their first date a few days later.

After six weeks of seeing each other, the COVID-19 pandemic forced them both home from Gainesville to Parkland and Delray Beach, respectively. However, a pandemic couldn't stop the strong connection that they had already started building. With the world on lockdown, Hallie and Aaron took the opportunity to see each other weekly and really get to know each other on a more serious level. They were there for one another during each other's hardest moments and biggest accomplishments. The two were quick to figure out that their relationship was something special.

Fast forward to August 11th, 2023 where Aaron decided to pop the question two days after Hallie's birthday. Aaron had planned a dinner on the beach and surprised Hallie with all of their close family and friends following the proposal.

The best is yet to come for these two, and they cannot wait to start their journey as a married couple. Hallie and Aaron are extremely excited to celebrate their love and wedding day with all of their favorite people!
