We met in the most cliched way possible: we sat next to each other at the wedding of mutual friends in 2019. Jared on my left, a negroni and a glass of champagne in front of us both, and friends who were “in on it” all around us. I’d been given a heads-up about the seating plan a few weeks earlier and I still remember how sweaty my palms were as I approached the table. Jared looked up and smiled the best smile I’d ever seen.
Luckily for us it was a three-day wedding, and our friends proved to be excellent matchmakers – to say we hit it off would be an understatement.
