Our meet cute is a modern-day love story where we both swiped right on each other, thank you Hinge! Desmond was newly acclimating to life in Los Angeles and Dara was vacationing in Zanzibar when we first connected. Within a week, we met up at a Peruvian pop-up and instantly bonded over our mutual passions—travel, food, family, and our New York roots. Fast-forward four dates, and it was clear we had something special. By six weeks, we were officially an item, and at the two-month mark, the L-word had been dropped, sealing our fate as each other’s end and beginning. And the rest, as they say, is history ❤️
