We met on a dating app. In February 2020, we met up for drinks at Buddy's Place in the Museum District. We bonded over our shared love for transportation, favorite comedians, and giggled at CNN's broadcasting related to the coronavirus that was "for sure not a big deal". Fast forward five years-- we successfully made it out of a pandemic, adopted a cat, moved in together, traveled together, welcomed home a puppy, and got engaged in May 2024. In a lot of ways, we have grown up together. We are so excited to celebrate our love and partnership with you all. Let's make this thing official!
