Our Story
Connor moved to Palo Alto, California on Saturday, September 27, 2014 and just hours later sent Marissa a message on OKCupid inviting her to coffee at the iconic Seattle coffeehouse (i.e. Starbucks) on Sunday, September 28, 2015. As luck would have it, Marissa was staying nearby to Palo Alto at her sister's house that weekend so the timing was perfect. With her wardrobe back up in San Francisco, Marissa borrowed a "date shirt" from her sister and Connor left his boxes unpacked and they met up and spent three hours drinking coffee and walking around the farmer's market. Finally, after Connor was all talked out, he walked Marissa to her car and said "see you in the future!" While Marissa assumed that was a "nice to meet you, have a good life" kind of comment, Connor (who is quite literal) did indeed mean he would see her in the future. He asked her out again later that day and they've been together ever since!
