We're Getting Married!

Hey upper east-siders gossip girl here. Have I got a story for you. It was love at first swipe. Or something like that. Tim swiped first captivated by this "Baesic" girl named Sam. She swiped next, curious what this bearded man was all about. The exchanges were unusual. They would send one large message a day. That’s it. They enjoyed the anticipation of a single message, but Sam was ready to keep things moving. She offered her number and got Tim to ask her out. Excitement was brewing. The anticipation was almost unbearable. Could this be their last first date? But, Tim had a small problem. In the midst of the message-a-day love affair he had failed to mention he didn’t have a car. He’d usually mention this early on but was worried he couldn’t explain himself properly and she’d ghost him. Ever the planner he is, Tim thought of a masterful idea. A date in a local hub known as Westchase. A magical place that offered everything you’d need on a date. It was a brilliant plan: sushi at Catch 23 and a short walk to Repeal 18 for drinks. Holding hands? Maybe! During this time he would explain his car situation. The plan was set. Little did he know Sam had a secret of her own. An hour before their date she called him. It was the first time they heard each other talk. This would normally be exciting but Sam revealed she hated fish. Tim was baffled as Sam clearly mentioned she loved sushi. Just not fish sushi. Unprecedented. It was a curveball Tim was unprepared for. Tim was in a panic as the dinner had moved down the street to Burger 21. What was he going to do? Run? Lyft? As fate would have it that was never a problem. The date was a success. Sam didn’t care about his car situation and extended the date. She even drove! Four years later those crazy kids are still together! Tim did get a car. Sam still “loves sushi.” And she’s still as wonderful as ever. Come October 3rd they will be husband and wife. All is fair in love and swipes. Xoxo Gossip Girl
