Our Story

From a swipe right to the rest of our lives. We matched on tinder and quickly fell in love on FaceTime. We spent months talking as much as we possibly could with a ridiculous 18 hour time difference, until Simon sold his car, quit his job, and packed up his things to move to America. I still couldn't tell you why he'd choose to be in Florida over beautiful New Zealand, but I'm so grateful he did! We have put down roots here in our little beach town of Sarasota and we have the most wonderful friends and families, near and far. And we are so fortunate to have so many of you traveling from all over the globe to meet us in Palm Springs for the most incredible party we will ever get to host. A weekend of memories to be made with the people we love most all leading up to marrying my best friend and becoming a Bettink! From both Simon and I, thank you for supporting us, loving us, and being in our lives, and we hope you will join us in the desert to celebrate Simon and I choosing each other forever! - Logan
