How We Met

11.13.19

Once upon a time, in the world of modern romance, fate smiled upon us as we both swiped "right" on Hinge, setting the stage for a love story that would unfold in the heart of South Boston. It was a crisp Wednesday evening when our paths converged at the Broadway. Nestled comfortably at the corner bar, we embarked on a journey of connection over a shared bottle of wine. The ambiance was perfect, but it was our conversation that truly lit up the night. As hours had passed, Sarah realized, Hank, her spirited 5-month-old puppy, likely needed to go potty. We found ourselves reluctant to let the night slip away. Hand in hand, we went for a walk around Castle Island, the waves echoing the rhythm of our conversation. Hours felt like moments, and amidst shared laughter and heartfelt talks, a deeper connection emerged. As the night drew to a close, we found ourselves in unanimous agreement—a second date was inevitable. Anticipation grew as we looked forward to the approaching Friday, a day that would forever cement itself in our memories. Tyler, armed with his trusty Kitchen Aid Mixer, stepped into Sarah's world, ready to cook up a storm. Homemade pasta adorned with a luxurious Vodka Cream Sauce and succulent shrimp was the centerpiece of this culinary masterpiece. The flavors danced, mirroring the chemistry that had swiftly unfolded between us. It was an undeniable success, a testament to the joy of shared experiences. And so, with every twirl of pasta, every sip of wine, and every moment spent in each other's company, our story began to write itself. What started as a serendipitous swipe right on a dating app transformed into a journey of shared laughter, delectable flavors, and profound connection. Our love story began that chilly November evening in South Boston, and the rest, as they say, is history. Please join us as we celebrate not just the pasta and the wine, but the beautiful tapestry of moments that have woven our lives together. From swiping right to saying "I do," our journey continues, and we can't wait to share this next chapter with you all!
