After years of searching high and low for love, Connor and Ellie matched on CatholicMatch.com. It was an unusually warm but beautiful late October day when they had their first date at Bar 'Cino in Newport, RI. Connor was panicking as he couldn't find parking, and Ellie was nervous she was running late. When she came in to find Connor already sitting, she gave him a tap on the shoulder and what ensued was an enthralling and animated conversation. It was very clear that both wanted to see each other again, but Ellie was the one to ask the question. After all, both had much in common, similar Irish-witted humor, strong faith and great chemistry. When it came time to pay the bill and leave, Ellie had noticed another similarity, Connor was left-handed just like herself! What followed were many more dates with great food, conversation and memories to last a lifetime. It became clear early on that Ellie and Connor were meant to be together, and at the time when both wanted to throw in the towel at the world of dating, God found a way to put them together.
