Until We Get Married
From a Swipe to a Soulmate
A Journey of Missed Flights, Miles Apart, and a Love That Always Found Its Way Back
Our First Meet
It all started back in 2017, during a Memorial Day weekend in Chicago and yes, we met the modern way: on Tinder (don’t judge us, it worked!).
Our first date? Sushi, of course our favorite food followed by bar hopping around the city. Let’s just say Mark may or may not have gotten Aline a little too tipsy that night.
We ended up spending the whole weekend together, and when it was time for Aline to fly back to Brazil… she missed her flight (oops). But as fate would have it, that gave us even more time to connect, and we’re so glad it did.
And
After spending two unforgettable weeks together, Aline finally returned home, and soon after, we met again for a dreamy vacation across Europe: Barcelona, Ibiza, and Valencia. That’s when we really fell in love.
Our journey wasn’t always smooth. There were breakups, long-distance struggles, and a lot of personal growth in between. But in 2024, after Aline underwent major surgery, something shifted, and we found our way back to each other.
Now, looking back at everything we’ve been through, we truly believe that God brought our lives and hearts together for a greater purpose. And for that, we are so incredibly thankful.
We love because He first loved us.
