Ed and Meredith's first date was at Bru in Center City, Philadelphia on May 13, 2016. Meredith was late and was waiting in front of the wrong bar (U Bar, right next door). Ed wore purple (Meredith's favorite color) and Meredith wore a maxi dress (which Ed hates now when she wears one). After drinking heavy German beers, they walked across the street to McGillin's, which is more of a natural habitat for both of them. They spent the night discussing their mutual love for Game of Thrones and The Ocean Drive in Sea Isle City, NJ. The night ends with Meredith forgetting where she parked her car in a lot in Chinatown. Now, six years later, they own a house in South Philadelphia and think they're too old for The Ocean Drive.
