We met on Tinder the week of Valentine’s Day in 2019, curiosity sparked by our obvious good looks and a shared love of Erykah Badu. Our first date was at a blues bar in our neighborhood, where Juniper from the Gold Souls set the mood. We happened to live a couple blocks apart. Our early courtship was slow and steady until COVID arrived, removing distractions and highlighting our ability to ground each other. After Sophie graduated residency in June of 2020, we took our first trip and drove through the Southwest. An important test - as many more adventures would be to follow. Enjoy our photo album as proof. In springtime of 2021 we decided to move in together, ready to turn up the heat! No one was burnt too badly as we are still happily living in the same spot. The following years were achingly stable, until we decided to get hitched despite neither of us previously considering ourselves the marrying kind.
