Rachael was out to dinner and drinks with her grad school classmates. She remembers the date, 11/02/2017, because it was the same date as her Neurobiology exam that she had a feeling she did NOT do well on. Tim was at the same establishment with his co-workers. One of Rachael's classmates and close friends, Mary, executed her job as wing woman perfectly that night when she laid eyes on Tim. She said to him, "my friend thinks you're cute!!" (even though she hadn't talked to Rachael about this first.) Tim took it upon himself to walk right over to Rachael and say "hey, I hear you think I am cute?" Blushing and crushing, Rachael said, "I mean, yeah, I do think you're cute?!" while looking back at Mary who was now proudly smiling, watching her matchmaking work come together. Tim was on his way out of the bar so he asked Rachael for her phone. He then used her phone to call himself to have her number, but then took the opportunity to save his number in her phone as "Tim Cute Guy From Bar!" To this day, his name still remains the same. Tim texted Rachael the following day and they had their first date which lasted for three stops to different restaurants and bars and it was one of those conversations you never wanted to end! If you know Rachael, it definitely wasn't surface level small talk! (IYKYK) After that night, they both felt like they would be remiss not to see each other again! And, here we are. 6 years later to the week- getting married on 11/04/2023!
