Jodi got a text one day of a man in a business suit from her friend Annie. Annie asked Jodi if she would be interested in a date with one of Josh's (Annie's boyfriend) co-workers. After a lot of Tinder and Coffee Meets Bagel dates, the idea of a friend of a friend sounded promising. About a month later, Jodi received a call (gasp, yes a call... not a text) from Mondi. They talked a few times on the phone and went out for drinks. Soon after they started hanging out often. At the time, Jodi was working at Relay graduate school with Annie. Josh and Mondi worked on the same team. Each time after a hangout, the girls would debrief how the date went and so would the boys. There was a small hotspot - the great beach debate (it was almost a deal breaker) which you will hear more about later! Within weeks of meeting, Jodi and Mondi were planning day trips and fun activities! Before they knew it, they were an item. After years of dating duds, they finally found each other...it was worth the wait!
