We matched on Tinder June 16, 2022. We talked every single day for a month before we had the opportunity to go on a first date. Our first date was a double date that changed both our lives. We went to get pizza and sing karaoke. He burnt his tongue on the cheese sticks, and the couple we went with ended up wanting to leaving early and I thought for sure that was enough not to warrant a second date. Little did I know, we had already fallen in love before we met.

My favorite memory is the look on Teddy’s face when I walked down the aisle when we eloped this year April 20, 2025. This is a second marriage for both of us. I’ve always known what the concept of love is, but I’ve never felt love as deeply as that moment when our eyes locked and a few tears rolled down his face. I can only hope that everyone feels the type of love that we share. I’m grateful love gave us both a second chance.

We live in a wonderful small rural town where the kids can ride their bikes until the street lights come on. I have a son from my previous marriage and Teddy and I just had a baby our little family of four would use this money to get out of our two bedroom trailer and completely rebuild our home. Continuing the love and memories for generations of Bradbury’s to come!
