In true invisible string fashion, our lives paralleled long before we met. We were both psychology majors at ECSU, both frequented the same bars (shoutout Sports and Blarneys), and even the same dining hall. We like to say the universe waited until we were both fully ready to meet our life partners, for us to meet. We met in 2020, in the thick of the pandemic, while swiping on Tinder. We went on our first date at Elizabeth Park in West Hartford, CT and the rest is history.
