It started on a quiet Tuesday night in the winter of 2024. Chad and Anna matched on a dating app and met up at Kartal, a neighborhood bar so empty the only company was a group of women playing dominoes in the corner. They talked like they'd known each other for years.
Not ready for the night to end, they walked over to Delux and kept the conversation going well past last call. It turned out they had mutual friends scattered across the city, and from that first date they were pretty much inseparable.
Their relationship grew over shared passions: exploring new cities, competitive sets on the tennis court, and hunting down the best restaurant in every neighborhood. Chad introduced Anna to Cape Cod, and it quickly became their favorite place to escape. Now, from their home in South Boston, they're looking forward to building the rest of their life together, starting with one very big party at the Poppy.
