Another successful Hinge story!

We met the modern way - online. Jeremy was working as a private chef in Boston and after a few weeks of messaging back-and-forth, along with a pre-screen FaceTime, a date was arranged. Jeremy showed up in his Chef's coat along with a gourmet food and coffee gift bag and Lauren proudly kicked his butt at bowling.

Something was igniting and our second date consisted of an Escape Room along with TWO dinners. That's right, not just one meal, two full dinners. Because that's what chefs do. Despite being stuffed and thinking she'd have to buy new clothes to continue on this journey, Lauren was impressed by Jeremy's impeccable manners, ability to eat everything on a plate and problem-solving skills.

Things get lost after that! Jeremy was welcomed [and grilled] by the entire Scribi/Bradbury family at multiple summer events and a two-week vacation in New Hampshire. Lauren went to Indiana with Jeremy to meet his entire family and almost every single person in Carroll County. She learned how to make Zhen's egg rolls, was introduced to competitive Trouble and Yahtzee and learned to love the peace and quiet of rural Indiana.

We did long-distance for six months while Jeremy was working in Upstate New York which only served to make our relationship stronger. It was at that point that we knew we could conquer anything the world threw at us.
