About Us

Our friendship started with a wine opener Manhattan — 2017

Emily was hosting board games when her friends broke the only wine opener. She asked to borrow one from her neighbor, who she had never met.

Chris almost didn't open the door because he was busy playing video games, but decided to answer anyway. He loaned them his wine opener and thought that was that.

Emily thought it was rude to not invite him to board games and extended the invite. Chris came to every board game night afterwards.

They were friends for four years before getting together on New Year’s Eve in 2021.
