Rewinding back to March of 2021: everything was still shut down. Workers were still home and many businesses were closed. Everyone was cautious about who they were around, rightfully so. Obviously, it was the perfect time to dive into the local dating pool! Enter: Nick, Kathryn and many dating apps... As Kathryn was swiping through the dating apps, she saw this cute guy who asked a very interesting question in his dating profile. It asked: Do you think the washer machine and dryer are REALLY friends, or are they just nice to each-other because they work together? Intrigued, Kathryn responded back that she felt like they really were friends. Nick apparently liked that answer, because he messaged back right away. After a few days of witty banter via Hinge and eventually text exchange, Nick boldly suggested that we should take the iMessage games into real life. Kathryn was hesitant, but she decided to give it a shot- especially because she was very competitive. When Kathryn came to his door, she couldn't believe how clean, well decorated and organized his apartment was! Nick had snacks and Mario Kart all prepped to go. Needless to say- she was in love! As they say - the rest was history! Dating in a pandemic presented unique challenges, but also offered an incomparable opportunity to learn about each other on a deep, intimate & authentic level. Our early dates consisted of car rides to nowhere (where Nick would create GREAT playlists), playing board games, and late night reality TV, which are staples of our story together. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love & support as we celebrate our next chapter together.
