Sam, a speech-language pathologist from New Jersey, and Nikole, an oral surgeon from Alabama, met on Hinge during a time when they were each new to the DMV. Sam felt an immediate sense of ease with Niki; Niki says she found Sam to be sweet, adventurous, and endearingly nerdy. For their first date, they met up for coffee on Christmas Eve, and about a year later, Niki planned a birthday trip to Maui and proposed to Sam, only to discover that Sam had been planning the very same thing. \u201cWhat was meant to be a single proposal turned into a serendipitous double proposal!\u201d The Southern California couple was engaged for just over two years while Niki finished her residency and used that time, they say, to create the vision for their dream wedding. <\/span><\/p>\n

For the big day, they chose a clean, minimalist design in shades of pink and cream to let the venue\u2019s art shine. One special detail was the coordination of their veils: Samantha\u2019s was lined with crepe to match Niki\u2019s gown, while Niki\u2019s veil featured beads as a nod to Samantha\u2019s. Other highlights of the day included the reception band, which they say learned and performed every song they love without missing a single note; custom magnets featuring cherry blossoms that served as favors; a mix of Asian and American cuisine that they say highlighted the merging of their cultures; and a dessert spread that included white cake, mini cheesecakes, carrot cake, and tiramisu. See the photos of their big day below.<\/span><\/p>\n
