Meredith and Greg's first date in January 2019, when they inexplicably decided to get tacos at a rather summery restaurant on the coldest day of the year. Meredith was in the middle of editing her Master's thesis documentary and Greg had the day off work but braved the cold from Brooklyn. They both decided they wanted to see each other again. In 2020, their "long distance" Brooklyn-Manhattan relationship became even longer distance. Neither of them wanted to use the subway during the pandemic, so the 45-minute commute between their apartments became an adventure involving multiple ferry rides and miles of walking. They got a joint membership to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, then an apartment together in Park Slope. They took trips to Maine and Cape Cod and Puerto Rico. They discovered favorite new meals at favorite new restaurants. Meredith learned the players on the New York Redbulls and started appreciating sushi. Greg learned the bands behind Meredith’s favorite songs and started pointing out anything with an Armenian last name. On September 22, 2024, Greg took Meredith to a fancy brunch at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden's restaurant. They wandered around the garden for a little bit afterwards, and then he proposed. Now, they can't wait to spend the rest of their lives making more memories together.
