We met on a cold night in October 2020, at the height of the pandemic, at StormBreaker, a brewery in NE Portland. The first thing Soph noticed about Chris was his height and his bright blue eyes. When Soph walked up to the restaurant, Chris remembered thinking "I hope this is her". We met again two days later and walked to brunch with mimosas in red solo cups. On our third date, Chris made Soph fresh pasta and in his nervousness, ruined the noodles. The rest is history.
