Finding Love on Tinder

In the digital age of modern romance, Richie and CeCe’s love story began with a simple swipe right on Tinder. A month after CeCe’s move from Chicago to Scottsdale, she joined the dating app with no intention of finding love. Little did she know destiny had a different plan in mind that resulted in a wedding at McCormick Ranch Golf Club.

New City, New Love

“I was only looking to meet people in this new city, and I told him I did not want to be in a relationship,” CeCe recalls. However, from the moment they met, sparks flew, and love blossomed unexpectedly. “It was love at first sight.” And they both knew it. The first dinner date turned into a magical evening of laughter and connection. Sitting in the car, listening to music, Richie and CeCe discovered a shared silliness that set the tone for the incredible journey ahead.
