Their love story began on a dating app in 2021 after Cherika moved to Arizona. A few months later, she matched with Thor on Hinge. From the very beginning, Cherika had a feeling about him that she had never felt before. After one night of talking on the phone for nearly six hours, they quickly realized there was an undeniable connection, as if they had known each other forever. This connection only grew stronger after they met, leading them to spend as much time together as possible. Thor soon shared the same feeling that Cherika was the one. About a month after matching on the dating app, they made things official through a poem Thor wrote—a gesture that marked the beginning of a beautiful and lifelong journey together.

In the nearly four years since, they’ve laughed, traveled, and grown together, building a life that feels destined. As their love has continued to deepen, it further solidifies their belief that the “feeling” they had about each other was that they had met the person God meant for them to spend forever with.
