Our Story

It all began when Hillary and Sean matched on Bumble. Sean maintained the conversation, and eventually, they agreed to a video date. As it was October 2020, Hillary was understandably cautious about meeting people in person. The video date went smoothly, and they decided to have an in-person date at The Royal Grocer. The date went well, and the rest is history.


Sean surprised Hillary and proposed on June 4th at The Royal Grocer where they had their first date.
