Emma Noticed a dapper man with A dapper cat on Tinder. How could she resist swiping right on such a MAN (and his cat)?
But that isn’t what Emma would have you believe.
Emma first met Lee in 2017 at Boone Graphics in Santa Barbara, CA. Lee doesn’t remember this, blaming it on Emma’s height (or lackthereof) and her pasty complexion. On this fateful day, the office was abuzz with their favorite client coming in, the creative—and handsome—Lee. Famously known throughout the print shop for his love of particularly disagreeable cats, Lee was always greeted with far more people than normal at the front desk, and this day was no exception. Except…this time, the girl at the front desk was different. Weird. Anyway, the day proceeded as normal, and Lee returned to make silly graphics away from his future wife that he didn’t know he had just met.
Lee first met Emma in 2018 while swiping through tinder. And there she was, a snack goddess right in front of him, with a profile that said “I’d like to think The Draughtsman named their Buxom Blonde after me.” Truly a thirst trap. But Lee, with his rapier wit, knew this to be a trap to detect perverts and other unsuspecting fools. Lee was smarter than this, and hid his perversion behind a Super Like and a perfectly crafted, tried-and-tested tinder pick-up line:
“Dad joke, Harry Potter pick up line, or multiple choice question?”
And Emma, coy but casual, heart aflutter (already in love), played it cool and responded:
“Harry potter pick up line, of course.”
Lee knew what to do, this wasn’t a one night stand type of girl. This was a girl you’d ask to move in debatably too early and hope it worked out. A girl that would eat your snacks when you weren’t looking and when accused, innocently reply “What snacks?” A girl who would call your cat, Boris, an asshole like everyone else, but still love him all the more for it. A girl who would steal the covers and blame you for it while being cocooned in ALL the blankets. This was wife material. And so, he responded:
“Do you play Quidditch? Because you look like a keeper.”
And she was.
So here we are a few years later after many road trips, sleep-ins, snackies, beers, cuddles, pandemics, sicknesses, stumbles, and triumphs, with these two tying the knot in Scotland—a place where Lee has never been. Under the watchful eye of Optimus Prime and his Autobot brethren, and the suffocating affection of Emma’s cat, Kiki, Lee and Emma have grown together and their relationship has blossomed, all in the pursuit of those missing dad jokes and multiple choice questions. Which, in case you’re wondering, Lee now supplies readily, despite having no children and no answers.
