It all started with a swipe to the right, where they met on the Tinder app. After about a month of texting and phone calls on David’s drive home from work, a first date was planned for May 29, 2014; he offered to drive - she gave her mom his license plate number and said to call after an hour to make sure she was still alive.

First dates with someone you’ve never met before can be unpredictable, but Brittany and David were at Mac&Melts for 3 hours. David picked Mac&Melts knowing Britt’s favorite food was mac and cheese (not knowing she’s also lactose intolerant but suffers through for the love of food).

Within the first few weeks of dating they started their first adventure together by trying foods that neither of them had tried before: Thai, Colombian, and Indian food. Their love of food also took them to many places, including the Ben & Jerry’s Factory and MANY donut shops through the years.

Their travels started with many long weekend get-aways and trips for David to go see Britt at New Paltz. Some of those places may not have been new to them, but they created new memories.
