Ari’s cousin Julie, and George’s mom, Teresa, worked together for a few years. In 2018, Julie asked if she could set Ari up on a date. Little did Ari know, Julie had the perfect person on mind. Ari agreed and a few days later was given George’s contact information. Ari and George immediately connected through text, and decided to go on a date. They met for coffee on a Saturday in November. This date turned into over three hours of conversation while having terrible coffee. Although George and Ari never returned to this coffee shop, the connection they made was something unlike any other. They both knew they had met someone extremely special that needed to be in their life. From that moment on, Ari and George’s relationship grew and flourished. A blind date with horrible coffee led to a loving and everlasting relationship full of laughter, support, and comfort.
