Rocco & Shelby

We mesh so well and have fun doing the most mundane things. We waited too long to find each other & can't imagine life without the other.

How did your love story begin?

We matched on Hinge the day after Christmas 2022. We chatted by text for a few weeks after that. We lived about 1.5 hours from each other so he came to my area for a first date weekend. Friday night we did ziplining under the full moon, Saturday we hung out and then had dinner, Sunday we went to a local park. After that we saw each other pretty much every weekend where I usually drove to him Friday night and then to work on Monday morning. We did that for 1 year before deciding to move to NC.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

We spent 6 weeks traveling across Europe in early 2023 before we moved from FL to NC. I was between jobs and he was working while we were away (shhh, he didnt tell his job he was traveling and worked like normal 🙊). We got to pet sit for different families and had a dreamy day in the Cotswolds.

What would you do with $20,000?

Edit: We're engaged!!!! He's going to propose soon (I know for sure, we designed the ring together and he picked it up a few weeks ago. I haven't seen it yet)! Because we both enjoy traveling so much we would use the $$ on an epic honeymoon. Most likely Australia or Asia, somewhere we wouldn't easily be able to go without saving for a long time.
