Arielle's dating profile said she loved guac. Baber needed recommendations for Mexican restaurants as he prepared to move to LA. After some incredibly witty banter, Arielle and Baber met on January 25th, 2022 at 7:11 PM...it would have been 7:00 PM, but Arielle claims her first Uber cancelled on her. *Arielle walks into their first date restaurant, Bodega* Baber: "Oh wow, she is pretty" Arielle: "Huh, he didn't have that patchy beard in his photos" For the next 2 hours in a candle lit wine bar in Santa Monica, Arielle and Baber began their journey. They bonded over their shared experiences in New Jersey with Arielle growing up there and Baber visiting his cousins there every summer. They spoke about the moments and decisions that lead both of them to move away from home, and how coincidental it was that they have the exact same job but at competing companies. Baber loved her eyes and smile. Arielle loved his "southern accent" which was really just him using the words "y'all" and "thank you". Over the next two years, their love grew. Arielle introduced Baber to Taylor Swift and a coffee addiction. Baber introduced Arielle to the Braves and Taco Bell. Together, they traveled (and arrived at the airport too early), danced terribly in the kitchen, and built a life. Now they can't wait to get married and celebrate with all of you.
