The CEO of Atlanta Hawks basketball team, Steve Koonin, is making a Tinder couple's dream come true.
The couple met at the first-ever 'Swipe Right Night' event at a Hawks game in 2015. According to Atlanta Journal-Constitution, when Ben McCleskey and Avery Armstrong returned for the second 'Swipe Right Night', Koonin said that if they got married, the Hawks would host the wedding and he would personally foot the bill.

Now, a year later, the couple have a baby together and when they checked in with the CEO if the offer still exists, Koonin replied with an affirmative answer.

"Avery and Ben: We are super excited for how your relationship has grown since you met at our first Swipe Right Night, and I will absolutely make good on my promise for the Hawks to host your wedding," Koonin wrote on the Hawks' official site. "We can't wait to start making plans and meet your new little one."
