Bethany and Joseph first met, in person, on May 22nd, 2021! After talking online for a few weeks, they decided to have brunch at Ely's Ivy, in downtown Grand Forks. After a delicious meal, they let the conversation continue with a little stroll through the shops and tea stores in the area. Since then, the conversation never stopped!

Joseph and Bethany first bonded over a mutual love of cheesy puns; their love of hot, caffeinated beverages; and theater.
