On Saturday March 30th, 2013 a mutual friend of Charles and Soinka, invited them both to dinner. Little did they know, that it was actually a blind date. She knew they were suitable for each other, but they both had reservations about showing up. After a few words of encouragement from their friends earlier in the day, it led them to end the date with exchanging numbers. Not letting a day go by without talking to each other, they grew closer and brought out the best qualities in each other. Looking back over the years, they are both grateful for meeting each other - by taking a chance by showing up to the blind date!
