How It Started

To quote one of the great bards of our time (Rihanna), we fell in love in a hopeless place. We met in January 2018 when our dear friend Cris passed away and were among the many who gathered in rememberance often during that period. By March, the two of us were hanging out all the time and had our first kiss while watching Queer Eye and folding laundry. We love to think of Cris' delighted cackle at the thought of bringing us together.
