a day to remember

It all started with a debate on Hinge—was cheesecake a cake or a pie? Without hesitation, they both agreed: definitely a pie. That settled, they wasted no time making plans to meet, but with a twist—they were going to put their own baking skills to the test with a bake-off. She would make a cheesecake (a new recipe she had not tried before), and he, knowing exactly how to win her heart (and taste buds), would make tiramisu, her all-time favorite dessert. On March 6, 2022, they met at a ramen shop in Denver. Right at the start, fate decided to have some fun—when the waiter asked for their IDs, they both realized they had lost theirs and had brought passports instead. They couldn’t stop laughing at how perfectly in sync they already were. As they savored their ramen, they bonded over their mutual love for food, anime, and growing up in Colorado. Their conversation flowed effortlessly as they shared stories about their families and childhood adventures. Then, the moment of truth arrived—the taste test. The tiramisu was the clear winner, but in the end, they both walked away with the sweetest prize of all: each other. From that day forward, they were inseparable, proving that sometimes, love is just one delicious debate away.
