Emily had decided to unwind after a long day and a string of bad dates, so she headed to the local pub on her corner, a bar with a laid-back atmosphere and local socializing that she was craving. Little did she know, this night would change her life forever. Emily chatted with one the bar owners, Leah, and told the tales of her recent dating adventures ending the story with "don't you know any singles guys that come in here?" With that, a text was sent, inviting another local to stop by. Andrew was looking forward to socializing with new people after a years' worth of COVID-based deprivation. Dating sites weren't yielding any good relationship prospects, and he had recently heard about the tragic passing of a close friend's brother. He was resigned to stay in for a night of pizza and TV when he received a text from Leah from the local pub. Some time later that evening, Andrew arrived to the pub, unsure if the invitation was a genuine invitation to hang, or to introduce a local neighbor who had concerns about park related issues. Despite the uncertainty, Andrew took a chance, and showed up. And as they say in the movies, the rest is history. We ended up talking the night away, closing down the bar, discovering shared interests, laughing at each other’s jokes, and feeling like we had known each other for far longer than just a few hours. The conversation flowed so easily, and as the night went on, it became clear that this was not just a chance encounter. They already felt like old friends and the romantic spark was undeniable. What started as a chance meeting has turned into our beautiful love story. And now, here we are, inviting our friends and family to help us celebrate our love story and start the next chapter of our lives together. We're excited for you to join us in an upstate New York digital water wonderland (the Finger Lakes! Get it? Digital?) where we both have collegiate connections and fond memories. Let's make many more memories and party it up!
