Explore these local love stories by clicking on the hearts, but there’s just a few love stories that we just had to share:
  • "[Source Restaurants] is where we had our first date eating souffle pancakes. It was end of October but for some reason it was a beautiful warm sunny day that day. I had to dig out a summer sun dress to wear. I honestly thought the date wasn’t going to go well and had asked my friend to give me an escape after 2 hours. However I never needed it. Brunch turned into a long walk from Harvard to central along the river. Before I knew it I had lost track of time ...”
  • “My husband and I met while sophomores at BU. I worked at the dining hall on campus and invited him by for a free lunch been together for 14 years!”
  • “My best friend and I were roommates [at Boston College] Freshman year. We hated each other! Fought constantly, couldn’t agree on noise or messiness. After we moved out, we didn’t speak until midway through Sophomore year when we were in the same class... and suddenly we just clicked. Now we’re best friends (just not best roomies lol).”
Now we’re really feeling the love.

From the editor
OK, OK — last thing I’ll say about my hometown KC Chiefs (until next Super Bowl). Last year my friend turned to me and said, “We’re the Pats now.” So if you all have any pointers for living through a football dynasty, please pass them along.
