Local Love: Hannah and Dylan

June 24^th 2022

On June 22, 2019, I stepped off the train at Penn Station to meet, what didn't take me long to realize, the man of my dreams. A 24-hour whirlwind "blind date" turned into 48 hours, several "postponed" trains, and the rest of our lives.

Six weeks earlier...

I walked into a bar (Tellus 360) up the street from my apartment to meet my parents' friends and happened to walk into their friend's 60th birthday party. I didn't realize at the time, but the birthday boy was Dylan's dad. I never met his parents or even heard of Dylan before then, and we hit it off right away. They began to tell me about their son who lives in Manhattan and immediately started showing me pictures. A few days later, Dylan and I began talking every few days which quickly escalated to every day. After a few weeks of non-stop talking, Dylan invited me to New York to spend the day. We spent every weekend after that together. A year and a half later, amidst a global pandemic, we got engaged on New Year's Eve 2020. Fast forward another year and a half on June 24, 2022 and we are standing on the Balearic Sea in Mallorca, Spain saying "I Do!”
