We met on the dating app, Hinge, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in September of 2020. We went on our first date October 5, 2020 and never looked back. We navigated the pandemic, city life in DC, meeting the parents (Ben only told his parents when his dad tried to send him a virtual speed dating event for DC singles in February 2021 and he said, "I guess it's time to tell them lol"), and getting a new puppy - all before moving to Colorado in the fall of 2022. We absolutely love living in CO and since then, Bagel has been living his best mountain life, we've bought a house to make memories in, and we're working our way through traveling the world together!
