After a few weeks of flirting on Hinge, we met up at a Ferndale dive bar. Ally brought her collection of Eddie Money albums she had been given by her dad, fully expecting to give them to her date and probably never see him (or the records) again; this was fine with her given that she just wanted the Eddie Money out of the house. Ten months later, those albums and Lynn had moved into Ally's place in Ferndale, along with two additional cats. We have been happily living in our chaotic rental with our four animals, excessive amounts of books and guitars, and lots of yacht rock and nu-metal on rotation. We are so happy to have made it out of the online dating scene and into a real-life romance that swept us both up and took us by surprise! We cannot wait to celebrate our wedding with you and know that with our loved ones by our side, our future is off to a beautiful start.
