In 2020, Paul and Cyndi were marked as “most compatible” on Hinge. Shortly after they matched, Paul asked Cyndi to go on a date. Their first date was a Saturday morning walk with coffee at the Stone Arch bridge. They quickly realized how much they had in common like values, interests, and the joys of dog parenthood. They both knew they had something special from that first date since Paul asked Cyndi for a second date for the very next day before the first date ended. They were inseparable after that, going on hikes, staying in to cook together, and taking Spot and Cookie on adventures to the dog park. Fast forward to a year and a half into dating. Cyndi got a job offer that required her to move to New Jersey. Paul realized he wanted this woman in his life and decided to take the leap with her to the east coast (where he had never even visited before!!). They hopped in a UHaul with the dogs started a new chapter in their lives. They've had the best adventures together spending too much money trying out new restaurants in New York City, going to concerts at iconic venues, traveling throughout the east coast, and frequenting their favorite local Mexican spot, Taqueria. After three and half years of dating, Paul proposed to Cyndi back in Minneapolis where it all started. They are excited to celebrate their love with their friends and family soon.
