The Story of How We Met

Her version: On September 6, 2022, Shaked and Yarden met through Bumble. For Yarden, it was his first date ever from a dating app, and for Shaked, it was... an experience. Shaked, thrown off by Yarden's accent, was convinced for a moment that she had stumbled upon someone completely clueless socially. But as the date went on, she realized she might have just met the prince of her dreams. Of course, it didn’t help that five minutes into the date, Yarden casually declared her “crazy” because of her Yemeni background. Shaked and Yarden didn’t fall head over heels on that first evening, but they both wanted to know more. The next morning, Shaked decided to clear her Thursday night schedule and texted Yarden, asking if he’d like to meet again. Yarden jumped at the chance and offered to make a reservation, but Shaked beat him to it—she’d already made one. Date #2 was an undeniable success. They had wine before heading to a jazz show, and they stayed out late talking. From that point on, things moved quickly. Both of them realized they’d found something rare and special. Yarden would later joke that Israeli women simply have no patience—and thank god for that. His version: On September 6, 2022, Shaked and Yarden met. They found each other on Bumble, where Yarden's claim to fame was that it was his first date ever from a dating app. The first date was a 6/10 and Yarden wasn't so into it, but Shaked made sure there'd be a date #2 by texting him the morning after date #1 saying that she made a reservation for us for Thursday night to go to a Jazz show - Yarden being the respectful American didn't really know what happened but couldn't say no and went along with it. Date #2 was a 10/10, we had wine before the show, heard some great music and then stayed out late at night talking. After date #2, we got serious really quick, both feeling that there was something different here and we may have just finally found the partner we dreamed about.
