When Justine and Chris connected on Hinge during the pandemic, it was a small-world coincidence that set the stage for something special. Justine spotted a familiar face in one of Chris's photos—his best man was a friend that lived a block away. Intrigued, she swiped right, and their conversation quickly revealed a deep connection. Their chats flowed effortlessly, ranging from quizzing Chris on who won the Super Bowl for the last 10 years, to their favorite local bars. Chris’s podcast at the time became a daily companion for Justine during her bike rides in Ohio, a comforting presence during a time of isolation. She found solace and joy in his voice, which made their eventual in-person meeting all the more anticipated. When Justine came back to New York, the moment they finally met was electric. They spent their first day exploring Brooklyn, visiting bars they had only talked about before. The chemistry was undeniable, and each outing felt like an adventure, cementing their bond. As they settled into their new life in Greenpoint (and now Williamsburg), their weekends were filled with shared activities. Playing softball & spending time in McCarren Park became a beloved routine, blending their competitive sides with pure enjoyment. Together, they navigated the vibrant life of New York, discovering new favorite spots and making countless memories. For both Justine and Chris, it was clear that their connection was more than just a chance encounter—it was the beginning of a meaningful and joyful journey together.
