Rachel and Daniel’s Spring Wedding

By Terry Meadows




Rachel and Daniel first connected through Hinge, navigating obstacles to finally meet at Spacebar in Falls Church, Virginia. What began as a casual after-work drink turned into an evening of deep conversation and laughter, ending only when the place closed. They felt an immediate comfort and connection, discussing faith, family, and their futures. From that day, they were inseparable, often being the last to leave restaurants and pubs. Three years later, they were ready to start the rest of their lives together.
