Max and Hillary met on Hinge (a popular dating app) when he was in his fourth year of medical school at Washington State University, and she was working as a flight attendant for Alaska Airlines and living in Seattle. When Max drove over two hours in traffic both ways one evening after school for their first date in Capitol Hill, Seattle, Hillary knew this guy was serious about her. That dinner led to a second date at their favorite sushi restaurant, Japonessa, and the rest was history. Max and Hillary both look back on those first few dates fondly and reminisce on how "easy" it was. A lot of couples say the words "when you know, you know" in regards to meeting your forever person, and in those early days, both Max and Hill can confidently say, "We knew."
