We are living proof that sometimes Tinder does work! We met in 2020, during the height of the pandemic. After talking for a few weeks over the phone (socially distanced), we decided to go on our first date, a drive through Christmas Light show. Evan picked up Brian in his KIA Soul (those who know, know) and before Brian could even say "Hello", Evan leaned in for a kiss! This was the start to what would become a fiery start to our relationship. In typical queer style, a U-Haul came shortly after—Brian moved into Evan's riverside apartment in Waltham about a month after our first date. One night - Evan cooked his signature "love meal" which consists of a thick cut Pork Chop, garlic baby potatoes, and Bacon Brussel Sprouts smothered with a Maple Dijon Balsamic Sauce. To top it off he put together a peanut butter and jelly cocktail! This is when Brian realized they were going to be together forever. A few months later, we got our own apartment together in Waltham and adopted our lovely dog Padma aka Princess P aka Pagma aka Missie P aka Padmatica aka Plazma aka Pacma. She has been the light of our life and has brought us together even closer. The moral of the story is, if something feels right, lean into it! We wouldn't have changed a thing.
