Ani and Xavier met on Hinge in August 2024. After a few messages and a voice call, they thought it'd be a good idea to go to Hawaii together for their first date. What an epic date that was. They had dinner on the beach, swam in the ocean until sunset, and visited a amazing rooftop bar thanks to the recommendation of a local islander and best third wheel. The next morning, Ani tested Xavier's fitness by taking him to her favorite trail in Hawaii. A steep hike over 1000 steps, in the rain, up an abandoned railroad track on Koko Head Crater. They saw rainbows, dramatic ocean & city views and took their first acro photo (see below). After the descent back down the trail, they got breakfast, and hit the ocean for more swimming. They were back in the shuttle to the airport before noon! Xavier eventually got left in Hawaii but he was determined to get a few more dates out of Ani before any excitement dissipated. With that, they started their journey to 50 "First" dates in 90 days. It didn't take long for them to realize they both hit the jackpot! There have been a few flights and road trip that lead them to adventures to Scotland, South Africa, Dominican Republic, Idaho, Ohio, Florida, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. As we embark on the journey of a lifetime, we would love for you to be there and be a part of our story love story. Thank you for being with us as we make it official. Your presence is a present.
