How to Meet Strangers Online

Old school romance meets modern-age dating

Everyone knows that 2020 was the year that everything changed all around the world. What happens when the world is shut down and there's no place for singles to mingle? You turn to the internet. They matched on Tinder while Rachel was visiting with her friend Lindsey. On the way home, they started chatting and exchanged phone numbers and social media handles (of course). Over the weeks they would share music playlists to listen to together--even though they weren't in the same place-- video called each other daily, and finally arranged to meet in person. As Rachel likes to say, "I went over to his house one day and literally never left." Over the next 5 years, Colby and Rachel worked together to strengthen their relationship. Eventually moving into their first apartment together and adopting their son, Moose. They can't wait to celebrate all the love that has been growing for the last 5 years with friends and family!
