In February 2019, Maribelle and some friends were visiting the Portland area over a long weekend. By chance, Maribelle and Riley matched on Bumble and got to talking. They hit it off right away and decided to meet up! The only catch was that Maribelle was with friends so Riley decided to invite her friend too to even it out. With 3 friends tagging along (and supervising), Maribelle and Riley met at a famous Portland bar (Swift on Broadway) and the rest is history!
