Elaine and Steve first met via an online dating app called Coffee meets Bagel. After a few-too-many poor jokes and embarrassing attempts at courting, they met for the first time at a local coffee shop in Chicago called Wormhole Cafe. Unbeknownst to them at the time, a date that was initially expected to last a "regular" amount of time, ended up being a 4 hour endurance race (of love) in which they shared similar interests in music, frustrations with online dating (and "dating in your 30's" as a whole), and found common ground over both being obsessive pet owners. Now, with many memories and adventures stowed away, they look back on that first evening with great fondness and appreciation. Who knew simple conversation, a small iced coffee, and retro 80's nostalgia would lead to this!
