Our parents always told us to be careful about meeting strangers from the internet, but what’s life without a little rebellion? We’ll never know who swiped right first– all we know is that it was a Bumble love story. It only took until the second date before we realized we were experiencing a once-in-a-lifetime kind of connection, and we were in it for the long-(U)haul. Only one month into dating, Bronte had thoroughly bewitched Reyna and hoodwinked her into agreeing to move from Boston to NYC. (Luckily, Rey loves bagels, and it wasn’t that hard to convince her.) Bronte quickly embraced a life covered in animal hair and became a co-parent to their dog and two cats. Rey was perfectly content with Bronte’s near-constant singing. Three years, three apartments, one thousand books, and one global pandemic later, Rey tricked Bronte into trespassing down a cliffside (in a dress) in Portland, Maine. Rey pretended to be looking for cool rocks on the beach, and Bronte humored her. Rey showed her a series of unremarkable rocks before revealing a sparkly one. It was an engagement ring, and Bronte said yes! It’s been five years since we both swiped right, and we’re still thoroughly obsessed with each other and the beautiful, delicious life we’re building together. Thank you so much for being part of our love story– we can’t wait to see you there!
