Dev & Marc

We always like to start the story of how we met with “we met the old fashion way”. We indeed met at a restaurant in Manhattan. During the weekend there was food and dancing at the restaurant. It was the moment of the night where the crowd was starting to dance to really good music. We made eye contact, a discussion started, and the rest is history. Our first date was at a small restaurant in the West Village. Apparently, it's known to have many celebrity sightings given its location. Dev picked it because it was intimate and unpretentious. When we got there the restaurant was almost empty. We both were seated at a nice table. We were learning about each other, so we talked a lot about our backgrounds, large families, what we were doing in New York City, what we wanted to accomplish in our lives, how Marc had come on his date after a long Jazz dance class from Steps on Broadway. Dev was in a business suit and had come straight from work. Dev found it quite interesting listening to Marc with his cute French accent and about his life in NY. We discussed many things and knew we would want to continue to see each other. We found so many things were different and the same about us. We both were raised in very large families. We both spoke two languages each. We both loved to cook. We both loved entertaining our friends and most importantly we both were open to adventure and creating a path forward where we both keep each other happy and energized about life.
