About a year before completing her residency in Michigan, Jenn signed a contract to work in New York City after graduation. Curious about the potential dating scene, she created a Hinge profile to explore the New York City dating pool in advance. Nick, by this time a seasoned New Yorker, stumbled upon Jenn’s profile and was immediately drawn to her engaging profile and the fact that she was a doctor - a practical match for someone prone to injuries. Jenn, in turn, was charmed by Nick’s adorable dog and a heartwarming photo with his mother, leading them to match. After several surprisingly good virtual dates, Nick boldly proposed flying out to meet Jenn in person. Concerned Nick might be a murderer, Jenn proposed meeting in a neutral city, settling on Chicago. Their meeting in Chicago was a comic blend of lofty expectations and awkward silences, concluding with a mutual agreement that seeing other people would be wise. Yet, despite this initial setback, they continued to communicate daily, exchanging walls of text - something neither of them had anticipated. A month and hundreds of text messages later, Nick visited Jenn in Michigan for her graduation weekend. This time, everything clicked. As they indulged in fowling (an interesting mix between football and bowling), explored local dining spots, and explored the outdoors, a spark ignited. Seizing the moment, they booked tickets to Iceland for their third date. Iceland served as an ideal compromise: for Nick, it offered bustling shopping centers and luxurious spas; for Jenn, it presented mountains to climb and ice caves to explore. Over eight days, they experienced the best of both worlds - Nick enjoyed glamping in a dome and hiking an active volcano, while Jenn indulged in the luxury of a 5-star hotel and the soothing warm waters of the Blue Lagoon. Their trip could not have gone better! Fast forward, Jenn has officially become a New Yorker. Together, they’ve mastered the art of celebrating their differences and leveraging their similarities, evolving into an unstoppable and quirky duo. They are the happiest together, 10 pounds fluffier, and so excited for their future! From a geographical catfish to tying the knot, they’ve transformed an unexpected beginning into a celebration of love and unity.
