I suppose it is natural that some of you might ask how we met. Well, Mandy hasn't written about it yet, so I get to!
We met back in 2008, at Duke University. We actually met due to a capella singing. I was in a Jewish a capella group called Kol Kachol. I had just gotten back from a trip to Japan (I did a lot of those back then), and I heard that, while I was gone, the group had auditioned a couple new members. And then I met them, and, well, one of them was Mandy!
Well, turns out we actually sang pretty well together. We did a couple songs where the two of us were co-soloists. Duet-ists? Shockingly, evidence of this still exists!
I think we sang pretty well together. Keep in mind, all this stuff was from before we started dating. That's a story for another day.
Anyway, we'd see each other at the various rehearsals, and we also eventually figured out that we had some mutual friends who liked playing board games and other such nerdy endeavors. And we became good friends!
And I think I'll leave the other parts our story for another day.
