We took a chance on love through a dating app called Coffee Meets Bagel and it led us to each other! After a brief chat that closed too soon, Freda decided to spend her “coffee bean points” to reopen the conversation in the app—definitely worth it! Our 1st date was meant to be one-hour but turned into an incredible six-hour connection filled with questions, laughter, and just getting to know one another. Just a few months later the pandemic hit while we were celebrating St. Patrick’s Day together, and we hunkered down, not knowing when the pandemic would end, during this time together is when we fell deeply in love by enjoying walks and bike rides along the river, taking short scenic hikes, picnics in the park, and trying our hand at new recipes, discovering that if we could weather this storm together, we could handle anything life throws our way. Since then, we've traveled and cherished every moment side by side, excited for all that the future holds!
