How We Met

Once upon a time, way back on November 30, 2020, there was a wonderful guy, Andy Thedens just browsing on his Snapchat stories. Until, he got a surprise message from an unknown, beautiful and spontaneous girl, Meredith Duda. Here is how their conversation started.


Snapchat: (of all places... lol)


“Hi Andy, this is Meredith, the girl you’ve been talking to on Bumble the last two weeks.”


“I haven’t been talking to a girl named Meredith that I am aware of. But Hi, I'm Andy!”


A week later, they met in person for their first official date. To be safe due to COVID-19, they met outside and walked around Cascade Lake in Rochester. At the end of their date, as they said goodbye, Meredith gave him a romantic 'elbow bump'. Apparently Andy was not offended by the COVID-safe genture because they have been together ever since.
