The Atlanta Hawks Tinder Night has paid its first dividend - a match that will result in a marriage.
Ben McCleskey and Avery Armstrong, who had their first date at the team's "Swipe Right Night" in 2015 are getting married on March 3 and the Hawks are not only taking care of the bill, but are hosting the celebration.
"Not in my wildest dreams did I think this would happen," said Atlanta Hawks chief executive officer Steve Koonin. It was Koonin who, on the team's next Tinder Night in 2016, was updated on the couple's status and said should the two decide to seal the deal, it would be on the Hawks.
