stanpat are incredibly lucky they found each other right away because they skipped YEARS of getting set up on terrible dates by every random bubbie, family friend, and neighbour

au where stan and patty don't meet in college. they meet several years after college, when stan's aunt corners him and insists she knows a great girl for you, stanley bubbeleh, and patty's mother's friend's neighbour badgers patty for a full week about some young accountant.

stan is sick of being harassed by amateur matchmakers. patty has gone on dates with three separate jacobs in the past two months. neither are particularly enthused by yet another blind date. and yet, at the end of it, they look at each other quietly and know that this is it.
