While swiping through Hinge, Dave came across a photo of a smiling brunette. He swiped right, and a match was made. Little did he know, Rachel had set her filters to only match with guys over 6 feet tall and within a mile of her apartment. Fate—or her very specific settings—led them to their first date at Local 149, just a block from both their apartments in Southie. They had no idea they would have their engagement party there six years later. As their relationship grew, they found themselves aligned on what mattered most—shared values, a natural ability to bring out the best in one another, and a love for travel. Together, they’ve visited 12 countries, marking each one with a pin on the map in their bedroom. In their 9th country, Dave gave Rachel the fairytale moment she’d always dreamed of by proposing to her in front of the Eiffel Tower. When back at home, now in the Seaport of Boston, their favorite date is sitting at the bar of a new steakhouse, sipping dirty martinis, and sharing a ribeye. Whether they'r running around their city, binging crime shows on the couch with their four-legged son, Chesney, or planning their next adventure, they’re excited to continue writing their story—one steak dinner, plane ticket, and unforgettable memory at a time.
