It was October of 2020, the midst of a global pandemic. Sydney was so excited to finally be starting at Lake Forest College, but to her dismay, it was online. This made it challenging to meet and connect with others. One night, both Sydney and Paul happened to stumble upon each other on a little app called bumble. The fact that the other noted Lake Forest College in their biography peaked the others interest. They both swiped right and immediately began the conversation. The connection was instant and the rest was history! A fun fact about that day, Paul had seen Sydney crossing the street in Highwood earlier that day! Being the romantic he is, he claims it was love at first sight!
