Ah, Tinder. A breeding ground for...well, let's just say the results can be a mixed bag. That's where our story begins, folks. Bridget, ever the social butterfly (or maybe just bored on a Tuesday night), swiped right on Collin's charming profile. Sparks flew virtually...until Bridget, hit with a case of the "I-don't-want-to- put-on-pants-tonight" blues, straight-up canceled their first date. Harsh!

But fear not, romantics! Fate, it seems, had other plans. Driven by an empty stomach (and maybe a smidge of guilt), Bridget, with the cunning of a seasoned couponer, saw an opportunity. Collin, bless his heart, had mentioned his love for burgers. A lightbulb went off in Bridget's head: "Free dinner AND a potential soulmate? Why not?" (Don't worry, Collin, she grew very fond of you too, we promise!)

So, the rescheduled first date went down, and let's just say the rest, as they say, is history. They bonded over bad puns (mostly Collin's), their shared love of board games, and the fact that neither of them took themself too seriously. COVID crashed the party, but they braved it together, navigating the new normal with movie marathons and game nights.

Life threw a few curveballs their way - a new job for Bridget, the addition of a furry friend to the fam (hello, Sundae!), and eventually, the big move-in after three years of coupledom. Now, their home is a menagerie of love, laughter, and the occasional board game-induced tantrum (mostly Bridget, of course!).

So, there you have it. A love story born from a canceled date, a love for burgers, and Bridget's ever-reliable appetite. They may not have met under the moonlight or while rescuing kittens from a tree, but their story is a hilarious reminder that sometimes, the best things in life come in unexpected swipes (and free meals).
