Story
Corinne and Ben met on Hinge in August of 2021. Ben asked Corinne to have dinner at Pizzeria Verita in Burlington. They hit it off immediately and didn't want the date to end!
Following dinner, they picked up Corinne's dog, Poppy, and sat by the water at Oakledge Park. There just so happened to be a spectacular meteor shower that night to which they had a front row seat! The whole thing felt very meant to be and they had their second date the very next day. The rest is history!
Tidbits
Who made the first move? How?
Corinne's Hinge profile had a prompt that said, "Let's make sure we are on the same page about..." which Corinne answered, "I'm definitely looking to stay in Vermont long term!" Ben reached out to Corinne by answering the prompt with "100%".
Who's going to take out the trash?
.....Ben :)
What was your most memorable date?
Hard to beat a meteor shower on Lake Champlain!
What's your favorite activity together?
We love to ski, hike, camp, go to swimming holes and paddleboard together.
Where are you going for your honeymoon?
Following the wedding, we are going to Quebec City on a "mini moon". Then, in September, we will be heading to Greece for a week!
What's the best meal you have eaten together?
While in New York City for our one-year anniversary, we went to Sixty-Three Clinton. We tried their eight course Japanese Fusion tasting menu. It was delicious!
What's the most memorable trip you have taken together?
Ben went with Corinne to Montana in February 2021 to see where she went to college and lived for six years. Ben got to experience the beauty and rugged nature of Montana, but also got to meet some of Corinne's closest friends.
