Sarah Busch and Brandon Neal met in February 2016 on the dating app Bumble. At the time, he was living on Manhattan’s Upper East Side and she in Hell’s Kitchen.

During their first date at a wine bar in Manhattan, they bonded over shared experiences of each having lived overseas — she in Sydney, Australia, where she worked at an asset management firm from 2011 to 2012, and he in Tokyo, where he worked for various financial companies from 2005 to 2011.

“I thought she was pretty and funny and very charming,” Mr. Neal said. “She is also a very disciplined person who was at the top of her class at N.Y.U. and is now very dedicated to her job. From Day 1, I have appreciated her hustle.”

Ms.. Busch said that she admired Mr. Neal’s ability to make her laugh, and to feel comfortable in her own skin. “He’s someone who accepts me for who I am, quirks and all,” she said. “That’s one of the reasons I love being around him, I’m always comfortable, and always able to just be myself.”
