The Story of Max and Rachel While Rachel and Max technically met in their early days at Miss Patti’s School of Dance, their real love story began on Hinge in the summer of 2020. While the rest of the world turned in for the pandemic, Max and Rachel stepped out for their first date on the New York City sidewalk. They drank vodka sodas and awkwardly ate chicken fingers with a fork and knife at the makeshift tables of Banc Cafe. After a few drinks too many, Rachel ran home to start planning the wedding. They found themselves a home nestled in Weehawken. They spent their fall Sundays watching the Giants lose, spent their Mondays watching The Kardashians cry, and when winter rolled around, they decided to add one more cuddly addition to the mix to keep them warm. As if Moose, the goodest boy in the whole wide world, wasn’t enough, three months later, Max got down on one knee and pulled off the surprise of a lifetime. Turns out, Rachel’s first date intuition was right all along. While most things won’t change, one thing will. Come October 25th, 2024, Max, Rachel, and Moose will officially become a family. (Well…two things will change - that and Rachel’s last name). They can’t wait to celebrate with you all as husband and wife.
