Ellen and Courtney, two single and ready to mingle theatre makers download a Lesbian Dating App, "Her." Courtney, ready to delete the utterly confusing app takes one more night to swipe through potential dates. In Courtney's closet of a room, the dark, mildly chilly October night weighs on and A League of Their Own is on in the background, as online grad class as just wrapped up for the night. One of the potential dates to pop up amongst the rest was Ellen Goldberg. Instantly, Ellen takes Courtney aback, and Courtney is quick to swipe right and send a friend request to Ellen. It's a match the next day. Friday, Oct 28, 2022- Courtney is at work, still trying to figure out what to say to Ellen, as Ellen put on her profile, "bonus points if you make the first move." Courtney spent the whole day at work asking their supervisor what the first message should be. It had to be creative as Courtney didn't want to come off lame already to Ellen. With the pressure increasing each moment, Ellen was the one to make the move. "Hey! You're in the Queer Big Apple Marching Band?! I just joined Cheer NY. We could be our very own parade." Courtney's immediate response "Well we should discuss planning this parade over coffee perhaps?" Their first date was at Bird and Branch Coffee Shop on West 45th Street, kitty corner from Ellen's place. The sparks were instantly flying and the rest is now history.
