A Cozy Dinner Party Style Wedding in Italy That Chose Meaning Over Spectacle
When Lindsay matched with Travis on Hinge during the strange early days of COVID, she wasn’t expecting anything serious. She had just relocated from NYC to Florida and was swiping with low expectations—until Travis’ profile stopped her cold with the line, “I believe at least 50% of dinosaurs in movies are fake.” The humor worked. What followed were FaceTime calls without warning, inside jokes about JNCO jeans, cross-country moves, and eventually welcoming their son, Jackson, […]
