IT ALL STARTED WITH A SWIPE.

In a modern-day love story, Greg and Leslie met via Tinder. Yes. The dating app. It’s the modern-day equivalent of taking out a personal ad in the paper. To “match” with another person, both parties need to swipe right, which means, “yeah, okay. I’ll talk to that person.” They both swiped right. It was a match! According to Tinder, anyway. Greg messaged Leslie first in a brilliant move that made her laugh. “In West Philidelphia, born and raised…” If you’re singing, you’re welcome. Now you’ve got the theme from The Fresh Prince of Bel Aire stuck in your head. If you’re not, head over to YouTube so you can join in on the fun. Anyway, Leslie responded back with the next line and so on and so forth. They continued messaging for a while until they exchanged phone numbers. They were both raised Catholic. Neither of them had been married. Neither of them had kids. Both graduated from High School in ‘97. They were each other’s unicorns. Mythical creatures you have heard of existing, but can never quite catch. They have other things in common, but to be in your mid-30’s and be all those things? Unicorns. They went on their first date at Pearl Cafe for Thai Food and Whiskey. Conversation came easily, and they closed the place down. Yes, they were THOSE people. That was six years ago. They’ve been together ever since.
