How We Met We first connected on Hinge—yes, the dating app! When she mentioned she made antibodies, I couldn't resist replying, "mAbs are cool." Turns out, knowing a little science was enough to get her attention. She decided I was worth a shot! Our first date was at the Pendry Hotel in Baltimore, and she casually mentioned that it was her very first online date, which honestly blew me away. By the third date, we were inseparable, and it didn’t take long for us to realize we had something special. The Proposal When it came time to pop the question, I wanted it to be memorable, so I gave her three options: a spot with the best view of Baltimore, a place we'd already visited together, or a historic location in D.C. She chose the historic option, and I had my heart set on the Lincoln Memorial. But of course, it was under construction! So, we decided to return to where it all began—the Pendry Hotel, where we had our first date. It felt like the perfect full-circle moment, and the rest, as they say, is history!
