It all began in January 2022 when fate (and Hinge) brought us together. I was on a girls' trip to Nashville, soaking up the city’s honky tonk energy, when John, who had just moved to Broadway (the heartbeat of Nashville’s nightlife) appeared on my app. We exchanged numbers, not knowing how perfectly our paths were about to align.

As we texted, we realized we were both in the same bar, the Twelve Thirty Club, but on different floors! Spoiler alert: he came to find me! Found me on the dance floor (duh!) and we danced and bar hopped until the bars closed! He even got to meet one of my best girlfriends and one of my cousins that night—such a serendipitous weekend!

Little did we know, that weekend was just the beginning of an incredible journey that would lead us to this!
