Kimmy and Jesse went on their first date on February 9, 2023 — and technically, it was a third-wheel situation. Jesse brought his dog, Tycho. In what can only be described as either a bold move or a strategic master plan, Jesse showed up to their Golden Gate Park picnic with Ike’s sandwiches… and Tycho. Luckily for him, Kimmy loves dogs. Tycho instantly secured his role as Best Wingman of All Time. Kimmy came prepared too — not just for Jesse, but for Tycho. She brought Trader Joe’s snacks specifically for him. (Green flags everywhere.) At some point during the picnic, Kimmy casually asked, “Aren’t you curious about what we feed our dog?” Which is how they both ended up sharing Trader Joe’s dog treats on their very first date. Yes. Dog treats. And somehow… it worked. Fast forward to today, and February 9 has become an annual Ike’s Sandwiches tradition. Every year, they celebrate the day that started it all — and laugh about how their love story officially began with a picnic, a very good boy named Tycho, and shared dog treats. Somehow, that feels exactly right. ***************************** Tycho’s POV (The Real Story) On that day, I (Tycho) knew exactly what was happening. I was in charge of vibes. I was in charge of cuteness. I was in charge of making sure things weren’t awkward. Then Kimmy showed up… with snacks for me. That’s when I knew. She’s the one. As for the two humans sharing my Trader Joe’s dog treats on their very first date? Listen — love comes in many forms. Sometimes it’s roses. Sometimes it’s champagne. And sometimes… it’s poultry-flavored chew sticks. Either way, mission accomplished. And now that they’re getting married, I think it’s safe to say I did an excellent job. You’re welcome. 我哋嘅故事 Love at First Bite Kimmy 同 Jesse 喺 2023 年 2 月 9 號去咗第一次約會 —— 不過嚴格嚟講，係三人行。 因為 Jesse 帶埋佢隻狗 Tycho 去。 究竟呢個係大膽決定，定係精心策劃嘅戰術安排？無人知。但可以肯定嘅係，Tycho 即刻上任成為「史上最佳媒人」。 佢哋喺 Golden Gate Park 野餐。Jesse 帶咗 Ike’s Sandwiches，而 Kimmy 唔單止為自己準備零食，仲專登喺 Trader Joe’s 買咗狗零食俾 Tycho。 野餐期間，Kimmy 忽然問咗一句：「你唔好奇我哋平時餵狗食啲咩㗎？」 結果，佢哋兩個竟然喺第一次約會一齊試食狗零食。 係，冇錯，狗零食。 但奇怪地，成件事又出奇地合理。 由嗰日開始，2 月 9 號就變成咗一個小小嘅傳統。每一年，佢哋都會去買 Ike’s Sandwiches 慶祝，然後笑住回憶 —— 原來我哋嘅愛情故事，係由野餐、一隻好乖嘅狗，同埋幾粒 Trader Joe’s 狗零食開始。 諗返轉頭，好似都幾make sense。 *********************** Tycho 視角（真相版本） 嗰日，我（Tycho）其實已經知道發生緊咩事。 我負責氣氛、負責可愛、負責令場面唔尷尬。 而 Kimmy 一出現就帶咗零食俾我 —— 當下我就知道： 「嗯，呢個人，OK。」 至於兩位大人一齊食我嘅狗零食？ 我只可以話 —— 愛情有好多形式，有啲係玫瑰花，有啲係香檳，而有啲……係 Trader Joe’s。 總之，嗰日我完成任務。 而家佢哋準備結婚，我都算功不可沒。
