A classic story of missed connections on a dating app "Coffee Meets Bagel." He saw she was a Progressive Christian and liked her, she saw he liked Elizabeth Warren and liked him, then they both stopped checking the app. A few months later, he messaged her - she didn't respond. A few weeks later, sick with COVID-19 and a few jobs, she saw the message, and wrote him back. The rest was history! They chatted from that moment non-stop, aligning in mutual archaic interests such as political science and parliamentary procedure (with a few clever jokes around the citation "Ibid."), as well as mutual modern interests such as culture, intellectual curiosity, tiktok, and a love for people. He was living in Yakima, WA on the "East Side" of the Cascade Mountains, and lucky for him, she had recently moved to Washington and had no idea how far the "East Side" was from the "West Side" of Tacoma/Seattle. They met for a five-hour first date in Tacoma, then a month later, she asked him to go steady as her boyfriend. Both met friends and family, spent time together in the home, in the camper van, and across the world, and after saying "I DO" in New York City at the iconic Bryant Park New York Public Library, surrounded by friends, would chose to love no other. Here's to us! We can't wait to celebrate with you all!
