Naturally, like most people in the 21st century, Leah and Patrick met on a dating app! Their first date was June 23, 2023, in the West Village, where Leah pretended to like beer to impress Patrick. Patrick had no idea until he saw Leah trying to order a Stella... don't worry, Patrick quickly broadened Leah's taste in beer little by little. Their second date came on July 4th, 2023. Patrick and Leah had their own separate evening plans, so they decided to take a day trip to the MoMA (one of their favorite art pieces from that date is now hanging in their living room, Monet's Water Lillies). The date went so well, they didn't want it to end. Patrick told Leah to switch her July 4th plans and join his instead. She quickly called her best friend (now Maid of Honor), and they spent the night watching fireworks with Patrick and his friends (two of which are now his Groomsmen). Three years later after a few minor details, (Patrick became a Cat-Dad to Phoebe, Taylor Swift released four more albums, and Leah moved to Hoboken.... New Jersey), they'll all be celebrating July 4th together again, except this time at their wedding!
