How We Met

Hot Soup in July

Katie and Dean met the good old fashioned way....online! While Katie was highly skeptical of the online dating scene and spent all of 4 minutes on her OkCupid profile, Dean was meticulous, working countless hours to make his page pristine. They immediately bonded over their mutual love of ranch dressing on pizza (if you know you know) and decided to meet. They met in the middle of their respective NYC apartments, Katie coming down from Washington Heights and Dean traveling up from Chelsea, at Jin Ramen on the Upper West Side. It was July 31, 2015, a 98 degree day where they enjoyed steaming hot, delicious noodle soup and tried unsuccessfully not to melt. To cool off they moved on to lively story telling and too many cocktails at E's bar right across the street. This would be the first of many merry meals together, usually ending with Katie dragging Dean to "one last bar". After 5 years of rock concerts, nights at the opera, trips around the globe, and 4 Mad Men re-watches, their love remains strong, as do their feelings for ranch.

For all the days along the way
