Bridget and Emily met the way everyone did in 2023 - on a dating app. Despite both being speech-language pathologists, neither had known the other in a professional capacity before coming across the others' dating profile. Their early dates were spent on bonding over cinnamon rolls and carrot cake, picnics along Lake Union, and exploring the PNW together. Before long, they had co-founded a book club at Charlie's Queer books, traveled near and far, and adopted a cat together.
