Our Story
How we met
A tale of modern day romance
With a bit of luck and thanks to advances of online dating, we technically "met" for the first time on Hinge the summer of 2021. After years of sharing our hearts with others but never willing to settle, we took to the apps and found each other while swiping left and right. Although Caity kept deleting the apps, it was a nothing short of a miracle that Travis remained patient and persistent. Shortly after Caity had knee surgery and Travis wooed her with pictures from his annual Pond Hockey Tournament adventure, our first date was on an icy February night (02.02.2022) at a bourbon-themed restaurant where we hardly ate any food (nerves), Caity's leg was in a brace and propped up on a chair (talk about first impressions), and Travis had strategically parked his car only feet away from the restaurant's entrance so as to offer Caity a safe ride home. Just a few dates later and we knew this relationship was destined for a different kind of love story.
A favorite dating memory
A date-night ritual
We met while Caity was in grad school at Yale Divinity School. Six months into dating, Caity started her last Fall semester courses, one of them being a course at the School of Management. While it was an amazing opportunity, it was in the middle of prime date-night time: Wednesdays from 6-7:20pm. This didn't phase Travis. Instead of it being a nuisance, Travis saw it as an opportunity, which led to four months of a sweet tradition. Every Wednesday night that Fall, Caity would rush out of class and hurry down the glass-enclosed stairwell towards the black car waiting for her at the base of it. It was finally date night! Travis introduced Caity to many fun restaurants in town, including Mecha, Bar, and Sherkaan.
