We first crossed paths on Hinge at the beginning of the pandemic—when the world was changing, but we didn’t know that our own story was about to begin. Our first date was supposed to be a simple coffee meet-up, but when we arrived, we discovered the café had closed early due to the new restrictions. Instead of letting it ruin the night, we ended up at a nearby boba shop. What was meant to be a quick coffee turned into hours of conversation. We connected immediately, even discovering that we had been at the same concert 2 years prior at the skirball center, and it was clear from that moment that we’d found something special. This was the beginning of our love story!
