We actually went to middle school and high school together, so we like to joke that we're high school sweethearts, but didn't really get to know each other until we matched on the dating app 'hinge' (unique I know...) in the winter of 2020. We went on a few dates and weren't looking for anything serious. Then after only a few dates, the pandemic began and everything was serious... and shut down, including the restaurant where Omri worked. I asked him if he wanted to continue hanging out since I lived alone. Also his brother, Mickey, recently got married, to Laura, and the three of them were living in a one bedroom apartment (yikes), where Omri and I now live, so he said "yesssss, thank God; I have to get out of this apartment." Actually he just said, "yeah, cool" because he's too cool for school. He started coming over only a few days a week, then eventually started coming over three to four days a week and by June 2020 he was practically moved in along with his speakers, synthesizer, and Dungeons and Dragons books. We spent quarantine getting to know each other, developing a love for reality shows like Bravo's Real Housewives and Love Island UK, watching horror movies, bonding over our similar taste in music, and trying to learn how to play Dungeons and Dragons, unsuccessfully, with only two people. We are aware that quarantine was a truly horrific time for most of the world; love ones were lost, people lost jobs, and the world was uncertain. Omri and I spent that time becoming best friends, sorry Mariam and Fatima, and falling in love. We now can't imagine our lives without each other... which is why we're getting married!
