New Years Eve 2016 and the following days culminated in Rebekkah, begrudgingly, downloading the dating app Bumble, at the behest of her long time close friend Caleb. She had been in Chicago, and Caleb and all of his friends were extolling the virtues of online dating, as they had all met their significant others through one digital avenue or another, but Rebekkah had consistently shunned dating websites and apps over the years. After three days of insistence, she gave her phone to Caleb and he basically built the entirety of her profile.

Once she was back in New York, she decided to give Bumble a skeptical try while holed up at home during one of the many blizzards pelting the city that winter. Moritz and she matched almost immediately, and started chatting. After a day or two back and forth, their common interest in photography led Moritz to propose a photo walk in Central Park, since it would be beautiful all blanketed in snow. A week later they met at the Bethesda Fountain, and proceeded to chat and take photos through the snow piled trails, eventually ambling their way back to the city streets. From there, they watched two football games and chatted for eight hours. Before the night came to a close, they were already planning for their next date, which was supposed to be a trip to The Met, but they ended up at The Women’s March instead. Needless to say, after that, they both deleted Bumble from their phones.

A little over a year later, during one of their many traveling adventures, Moritz proposed to Rebekkah high up in the Rocky Mountains, overlooking Boulder, Colorado. And, as they say, the rest is history.
