After Tim Haggstrom and Ana Tiruta said their wedding day “I dos,” Tim’s speech jokingly credited the dating app Hinge as their “unofficial” wedding day sponsor. For him, June 12, 2022 — their first date after matching on Hinge — marked the day he met his future wife.

Their first date quickly led to a second, and, as the dates flowed into each other, Tim had a profound realization about the woman he had fallen for. “I pictured the two of us growing old together and realized that is what I wanted with all my heart,” says Tim.

Three weeks into dating, the couple said, “I love you.”

During a summer trip to France in August 2024, Tim took the next step toward making that vision come true by proposing to Ana, who happily said yes.

When it came time to choose their venue, Ana jokes that it was a “manifestation moment.” She had long envisioned a place with an elegant building, a lush outdoor garden for dining and socializing, and exceptional cuisine.

Rouge, which she had always admired from afar, turned out to be perfect for their wedding on July 24, 2025.

With only 40 guests at the wedding, the day had an intimate atmosphere. Simple, yet elegant decorations, like the floral arrangements and fabric draped over tree branches forming a natural arch, enhanced the venue’s charm. Behind the scenes, the Rouge team ensured everything ran seamlessly, allowing Tim and Ana to fully enjoy their special day.

“The staff were so well organized, friendly and thoughtful,” says Ana. “They made it easy for us to relax and enjoy the day.”

When reflecting on their day, Tim cherishes the opportunities for those serene moments with Ana. “There were instances when we could glance at each other, take in the moment, and feel like it was just the two of us,” he says.
