The year was 2016 and Halloween was just around the corner. It began like every love story does, with a metal detector, a fanny pack, and two crazy kids swiping right. You see, her dating profile indicated she'd recently purchased a metal detector and was "on the hunt for a fanny pack to round out my midlife crisis look". While mindlessly swiping through her dating app, she came across a guy with a show-stopping smile, a witty bio, and... a fanny pack in his picture. A fanny pack? Yes, a fanny pack. It was the perfect foot-in-the-door to start a conversation. So, a sincerely special shout out to the fanny pack that caught her attention and Jackie Jaramillo for always encouraging ridiculous Amazon purchases such as metal detectors. After some short banter, Rachael and Rohan decided to take the next step and exchange phone numbers. On an evening shortly thereafter, separate plans happened to put them in the same Georgetown neighborhood; Rachael, at a friend's birthday dinner and Rohan at his friend, Lindsay's stand-up comedy show. It was on that fateful evenings, October 28th, that they decided to meet up for a cocktail at Bourbon Steak. Since it was nearly Halloween Rohan happened to be dressed in a T-Rex onesie costume. That didn't stop them from staying up all the way past bar close talking - not even realizing it was time to go. The rest is history. (YAY!)
