We're a dating app success story! It all started with a match on Hinge. We immediately bonded over our shared love of Harry Potter, and our appreciation for Jim Dale as the BEST audiobook narrator. After texting back and forth for a while, we agreed to meet in-person on a coffee date. Cue Colectivo Coffee on Sunday, September 19, 2021! What was supposed to be a quick get-to-know-each-other coffee date quickly turned into a FOUR HOUR long conversation as we chatted the entire afternoon, shutting down the coffee shop. That's when we both knew this was something special and worth exploring further. Many laughs, snuggles, adventures, date nights, and pints of Halo Top ice cream later, Royal asked Emily if she'd like to be Goose's mom... and she said YES. The rest is history!! <3
