We met through a Jewish matchmaker, and from our very first date on September 4, 2024, there was an undeniable spark. We wandered through a small museum, lingered over coffee, and what was meant to be a simple errand—picking up a headless antique statue (a story for another time)—somehow turned into dinner. A week later, we met again for lunch, and Richard, always one for surprises, took Katy on an impromptu trip to Wegman’s in Astor Place. Even something as ordinary as grocery shopping felt special when we were together. From that moment on, we knew—we had found something rare and real. We share the same values, love the same pastimes, and can talk for hours without ever wanting to stop. What started as a simple introduction quickly became a love story, one that feels like it was always meant to be.
