Right on Time (Eventually)

Like many great love stories, ours began online dating during COVID—and almost ended when she showed up late to our first date at Bull McCabe’s. He waited patiently. She made an entrance. He has never let her forget it. Luckily, once she arrived, everything clicked. The conversation was effortless, the laughs came easily. By the end of the night it quickly became clear that being fashionably late was a small price to pay for finding your person. Today, we live in Durham with our dog, Otis, who keeps us entertained and on a very regular morning schedule—and we can’t wait to celebrate with you.
