Will and Gabi matched on Hinge in March of 2020, just as the world was shutting down from a global pandemic. Their first date plans were immediately canceled, so instead they spent about a month getting to know each other over FaceTime. When they finally met in person, it wasn’t over coffee or dinner, but for an “essential” Costco run. Together, they walked around fully masked and made it out with a whole case of Prosecco and the real 2020 treasure, a mega-pack of toilet paper. Afterwards, they took Will’s dog Archer (who won Gabi’s heart that very first day) and their supplies to a nearby park, where they toasted with Prosecco in Dixie cups and enjoyed the sunshine. It wasn’t a typical first date, but it turned out to be the perfect start to their story. Now, looking back, neither would change a thing (especially Gabi, who’s so glad Archer was part of the story from the start). Now Will keeps that pack of Dixie cups in his car, and they never pass up a bottle of Kirkland Prosecco.
