It all started amidst the pandemic in 2021 when Steffi swiped right after reading the longest bio in Tinder history. After checking out Shaun’s sturdy broad shoulders, his 6'5" frame, and those blue eyes, she found a match. It was Shaun, with a nervous “Hey.” He’d spent 10 minutes crafting the perfect opening line, but then chickened out.

Steffi, however, wasn’t having it—she replied, “Really? That’s all you’ve got?”

Instead of running away, Shaun decided to roll with it. Steffi threw in a few sarcastic jokes, and suddenly, the conversation was flowing. They made plans for dinner, and Shaun was still sweating bullets. But when they met in person, Steffi took charge, cracking jokes and making him laugh until he completely forgot about his nerves. Not entirely sure if it was her bad jokes or just the alcohol playing it's part.

And now, here they are—getting married, proving that sometimes, the best relationships start with a nervous “Hey.”
