The happy couple met on Tinder. Even though it took weeks for Patrick to reach out over the popular dating app they finally scheduled a date at a slightly sketchy Korean restaurant half way between the two of them. Even with the less then ideal scenery the first date went well and they started their semi long distance relationship soon after. After many long drives between Virginia and Maryland, Patrick changing jobs twice and apartments three times, and Grace opening a dance studio the couple finally moved in with each other in April 2019. They also got their beloved dog Fitz that same year. On May 15th, 2021 Patrick opened a ring box down by the waterfront in Alexandria!
