Russell and Isabel meet for the first time at Trinity Church in Greenwich, CT on July 9, 2023. Their matchmaker is none other than Mary Beth Hritz, who attends the same Wednesday morning Bible Study as their mothers, Abbie and Bon. Russell and Isabel have a sushi dinner at his home, and spend time together at Central Park. Unfortunately, Isabel is still not interested yet! Not ready to give up, Russell asks Isabel to lunch after church one day, and sparks begin to fly! Their relationship begins to blossom… They get to know each others’ families… And start to bring the best out of each other! They travel to Taiwan in February 2024… And head to Japan after!
