Once upon a swipe in 2021, Ed and Laura matched on Tinder, and thus began a truly unforgettable adventure. After a few days of witty banter and expertly timed GIFs, they met for their first date at Portsmouth Gaslight Co., where sparks flew and chemistry bubbled over (so much so that it led to a little PDA in Prescott Park). Despite the promising start, after two dates, they decided to part ways—life, timing, or Mercury in retrograde… who’s to say? But fate clearly had other plans. Fast forward to 2023: a few Snapchats were exchanged, Ed casually mentioned a projector he’d picked up from work, and just like that, they picked up where they left off. This time, for good and with a dog.
