While swiping through Hinge with a friend, Brenda stumbled upon Jeff's profile. Her first instinct? Swipe left. His profile featured a gym photo—shirtless, with his underwear pulled high—a snapshot that screamed "douchebag gym bro". Rolling her eyes, she was ready to move on, but her friend had other plans. Grabbing her phone, they swiped right with a laugh, setting in motion the story that would change Brenda’s life forever. Brenda and Jeff’s love story began on Hinge though it wasn’t a fairy tale from the start. Jeff seemed uninterested at first due to a series of heart breaks, and Brenda nearly canceled their first date due to his lack of interest. It was her close friend, Terence, who convinced her with a simple nudge: “Why not, at least there's food?” Their first date was at Remedy on Whyte Avenue, where Brenda initially found Jeff, well... a bit boring. So much so that she excused herself to the washroom to call her friend Nickie for an escape plan. But Jeff, ever the gentleman, had already bought her a tea, so Brenda decided to stick it out a little longer. In those extra moments, something unexpected happened—Brenda discovered Jeff’s charm. Beneath the initial awkwardness, he was funny, quirky, and undeniably cute. That night marked the beginning of countless adventures together. Since then, they’ve moved cities—first to Calgary, then back to Edmonton—and along the way, they welcomed a new member to their family: their lovable wiener dog, Maximus.
