Our Love Story

#JH²

"On the hunt to find the world's best cannoli" was the simple silly comment Julia had on her hinge profile, daring potential hinge matches to help her find the answer. It was also the comment that was the start of John's and Julia's love story. As John had some thoughts on the solution. What started as a quick back and forth discussion of cannolis led to what they both thought was going to be a quiet meet up at a local bar on a blustery Chicago January night. Fate had other plans. They found themselves the center attention to drag queen bingo, unexpectedly! By the end of the night the cold winds couldn't touch either of them as they went home with smiles on their faces knowing they'd see each other soon. It wasn't long before they realized they had a lot in common, from both being left handed, to having the same initials, to working for the same company at different times, a love of Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra, and well the rest is history..... As for Julia's question? Well John's excited to help her try some Cannolis in Italy on their honeymoon. But they both agreed the best cannoli in the USA is at D'Amato's.
