It was 2018 and fall was approaching. We were both seeking meaningful friendships within our community, and we each joined an online group of fellow microbrewery enthusiasts where we became fast friends, bonding over cooking, coffee, board games and our own personal interests in art and photography. On November 10th, 2018, at a friend's potluck, Joseph reached for Tiffany's hand, and later that evening, Tiffany sent Joseph a text, asking when he would like to go on our first date. From there it was a blur of fierce cooking sessions, coffee tastings, brewery dates and movie marathons, building a friendship that would soon turn into a relationship that only continued to gain speed once we were introduced to each other's family and made plans to live together. What started as two bashful introverts bumping into each other by chance - each involved in our own little hobbies and routines - has grown into a something much bigger than either of us could ever imagine.
