Story
Yes, we met on Tinder. We are a Tinder success story. <3
Marina: I got home late from work that day and was so tempted to cancel our first date which happened to be on Halloween. I decided to go for it and figured I would be home by 9 P.M. I got to The Cat Pub around 7 P.M., as did he, and the first time I saw him, I was smitten. I'm pretty sure he also gave me a look that told me it was love at first sight for him. We sat and talked for the next 6 hours. Neither one of us wanted to leave and we both had work in the morning. So we made a plan that night for our second date. (Which happened to get crashed by 8 of my friends - story for another time. ;))
Mili: I was swiping left on Tinder and this beautiful woman pops up and she seemed too good to be true but I had to swipe right. I knew I swiped in the right direction when I asked her out and she suggested a dive bar. I knew I found my woman right then and there. I didn’t believe in love at first sight until that moment I saw Marina. She’s right about that look I gave her - it was pretty much love at first sight.
Tidbits
How did you first meet?
See Our Story! But a big part of our story happened 6 months before we met. I made a list of everything I ever wanted in a relationship and in my soul mate. Mili became newly single literally one day before I made that list. About a month after we started dating, I shared that list with Mili and we were dumbfounded. Every. Single. Thing. All of it. I got everything I've ever wanted in him and in our relationship. That day may have been the manifestation of MSquared.
~Marina
Who made the first move? How?
I definitely made the first move. I sent a message to Marina on Tinder first. Asked for her phone number first. Asked her on a date first. And definitely, the one to move in for the first kiss first.
She had it easy.

Who's going to take out the trash?
Mili for LIFE!!! <3
~Marina
What was your most memorable date?
On our third date, we went to Niagara-On-the-Lake for some wine tasting for the day. It was so much fun. We laughed, talked, and drank wine all day. I realized how much we had in common and in sync we were. After that, it was over. I was done. I knew I found my woman.
~Mili
What's your favorite activity together?
We’ll go record shopping then head home, pop a bottle of wine or pour some scotch, and listen to our new vinyl.
~Mili
What's the best meal you have eaten together?
We’re foodies so we’ve had some amazing meals at restaurants and at home. If we’re talking most memorable meal in terms of experience - I’d say it was when Mili proposed in the Moroccan Sahara desert under the stars. I was recovering from food poisoning so I couldn’t actually eat.. but definitely a meal I’ll never forget.
~Marina
A life goal of ours
We want to be able to move, touch, inspire and be moved, touched, and inspired by the people and the world around us.
