On Friday, January 28, 2022, a snowstorm was about to approach over the Greater Boston area. However, on that day, two people, who lived only a few streets away from each other, would meet and change the course of their lives.

We were both at our respective homes in Medford on that Friday, browsing on the dating app, Hinge, when we matched. There was clearly mutual interest in each other when we matched, as we decided to meet at a local Mediterranean restaurant, Semolina, on February 1st. We met around 7pm. Frederik wore a navy-blue suit and a pink tie to deliberately coincide with Emily’s favorite color. We sat at the table and talked unstoppably until we had to leave, as the restaurant was closing for the night. We decided to meet again that Friday, at Russel House Tavern in Harvard square. Since that date we’ve been virtually inseparable. By week five, Emily had already managed to “accidentally” say “I love you” to Frederik, who decided on March 6th that it was time we said those words for real, as we clearly both felt it.

The rest is history...
