Darryl is a Pittsburgher who loves computers and has a great sense of humor. Delphine is a French Scientist who came to Pittsburgh for work and luckily found love.

They met as today’s couples usually do… on the Internet. They vividly remember their first date. He was waiting nervously on the front steps of Condado Tacos in a shirt he bought specifically for the occasion, she arrived 10 minutes late (as they fashionably do in France) in her favorite leather jacket. They bonded over nachos and margaritas, and even though she insulted his favorite food (referring to Chicago deep dish pizza as a “tomato-based quiche”), he desperately wanted to see her again.

Everything was going well with fantastic dates and beautiful nights out. Until the World locked down. Certainly, working from home was challenge, but it took their relationship to the next level. She spent more and more time at his place and he learned to cook for her. Eventually, they gave up the cute apartment in the city (hers) and moved in together in the suburbs (his).

Living together felt easy (for the most part). From the Bourbon trail all across the Atlantic, they shared cultures and passions. Then, one day, they decided it was time for a bigger family, so they adopted the two most adorable orange kittens, Newton and Galileo (did we mentioned she is a scientist). They started to look for rings, but he wanted it to be a surprise, so he waited just long enough she started to doubt it would happen… and then he sprung it.  He is a romantic, so he wanted it to be perfect, and after three different attempts (Bruges, New York City, and at home on Valentine’s Day) she finally said yes.

And so now, here we are. After four years together, we are thrilled to celebrate with you on May 3rd, 2024. Hope to see you there!
