Isaac had been living in North Carolina for almost a year when Meredith moved to the Triangle. They first matched on Hinge, and Meredith sent a very wordy message to Isaac about how cool it was that they were both from the Midwest. He was intrigued about the connection, and he figured out quickly how much Mere loved to talk. With a turn of events, Isaac's dating app reset itself and deleted all of his matches the following day. According to Isaac, he didn't think much of it until a few days later when Mere was still on his mind. To no avail, he tried to rematch with any Meredith he could, with no success following his pursuit. Luckily for him, Mere thought the midwest was so cool that she matched with Isaac for a second time. Isaac didn't waste any time and asked Mere out on their first date. Isaac and Mere met for coffee for their first date, and it turned into a 9-hour date. They quickly hit it off and following coffee, Isaac gave Mere a tour around UNC's campus. After the tour, Isaac admitted (and so did Mere) that they didn't want the date to end. They headed downtown Durham and got lunch at Toast! After lunch, they went to to the Unscripted Hotel rooftop pool bar and sat for hours as they talked and got to know each other. Both Isaac and Mere agree that their relationship was meant to be and curated perfectly by God. They cannot wait to celebrate with all of you and thank you for being a part of their lives.
