We first met at a mutual friend’s Halloween party — it was silly and fun, but neither of us thought anything of it and went our separate ways. But as it turns out, the universe has a funny way of making things happen. The very next day, we matched on Hinge! A few days later, we ran into each other again at a friend’s birthday party, and this time, we decided to go on an official date (yes, of course, it was at Il Rionne’s Pizza 🍕). From that night on, we were pretty much inseparable. As we got to know each other, we quickly realized how much of our pasts and values aligned — it felt like finding home in another person. Neither of us saw it coming, but we couldn’t be more grateful to have found our soulmate when we least expected it.
