Like most couples these days, they met through an online dating app, Bumble. After hitting it off in their messages, they arranged to meet for drinks on 14 April 2017 at Sofi's Bar by the Shore in Leith. On the way to the bar, Rachel discovered that Apple Maps is not the most trustworthy navigational tool and she was ten minutes late. Luckily, Seamus waited patiently for her to arrive, not worried that he was being stood up. They hit it off immediately and stayed at Sofi's chatting and laughing until last call. They now live in Leith just around the corner from where they first met.
