Meant for Each Other

Pilar & Eric met on Tinder. Pilar liked his selection of adorable, goofy pictures and her interest was piqued by his description as a Puerto Rican writer and poet from the South. Eric thought her globe-trotting profile pics were not only gorgeous, but showcased a sense of creativity and adventure. A match made in nerd heaven, Pilar & Eric fell for each other at the Philadelphia Museum of Art when one mentioned Star Trek's prime directive and there was no explanation needed for the other. Though their resolve was challenged by a global pandemic, personal tragedies, a cross-country move and countless other things that can make life difficult, they only found refuge, comfort and joy within one another. From the dive bars of Philadelphia to the taquerias of Los Angeles; from the mountains of Big Bear to the beaches of Santa Monica; from gourmet meals in Las Vegas to biscuits and gravy in Greenville; from dancing with newly purchased books in their backpacks in DLTA to scenic road trips to make Christmas tamales in El Paso... They're meant for each other.
