We met the modern way—on the good ol’ Tinder app (yes, sometimes it really does work out). At the time, Lilly was a freshly 21-year-old college student, and Chris, the wise and worldly 24-year-old, was already deep into his “geriatric millennial” era. Not wanting to be that guy pursuing someone mid-college, Chris kept things strictly in the friend zone. For over two years, they were just pals—bros, even. But on October 16, 2021, Chris finally worked up the courage to ask Lilly out on a proper date. Two days later, on October 18, they made it official and haven’t looked back since. The best of friends. True partners. Totally in love.
