Corey and Tara matched on the JSwipe app in the fall of 2017. They decided to go to a comedy show together, meeting outside of Penn Station in NYC and walking over together. When Tara first saw Corey, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her immediate thoughts were "cute and normal." Phew! The two shared a drink at a bar before heading over to the comedy show, where they learned that they had the same birthday! After a fun first date, which ended with Corey walking Tara to the subway and leaving her with a kiss on the cheek, he quickly made sure she wanted to see him again for a second date, and the rest is history! The two first lived in different boroughs in NYC, with Tara in Astoria, Queens, and Corey in Murray Hill in Manhattan. Then, Corey made his way to Bayside, Queens, and the two still "commuted" to each other for a few years before moving in together. Corey and Tara supported each other through grad school, Tara's new job, losing loved ones, and so much more. On August 7, 2021, Tara thought she was going to Long Island to celebrate Corey's Nana's 85th birthday and take family pictures on the beach. Little did Tara know, Corey had been planning this surprise engagement for four months, with the help of family and friends. Corey proposed on the beach, Tara of course said yes, and the two were joined by their parents, siblings, and Nana. No wonder Tara's mom's phone "broke," so Tara couldn't look at her mom's location. Corey thought of it all! They can't wait to celebrate their love and marriage with their loved ones in October of 2022!
