Our mothers will both always get to say "I told you so". Robby's mom encouraged him to start swing dancing back when he was in college, and Madalyn specifically told her mom, "I am not going to meet the love of my life at a swing dance"... but she went anyway because it was her mom's birthday and it turns out that's exactly what happened. In March of 2023, Madalyn noticed the "cute dance teacher with the good shoes" and Robby recognized Madalyn as the girl from the dating app who had never responded (because she hadn't opened the app again since matching). Thankfully we had a mutual friend at the dance (Thanks April!) who was able to connect us! After our first date at Crank & Boom, we were basically inseparable. Robby was even willing to accept that Madalyn came with a dog! Robby is definitely Barnaby's favorite person whether he wants to be or not ;) We both feel so lucky for the serendipitous series of events, mutual connections and a promise to go to a swing dance as a birthday present to Madalyn's mom that brought us together!
