TAYLOR'S VERSION OF THE STORY: As Audi loves to say, we owe our love story to the "internet." After downloading and quickly deleting Hinge a few times, he skipped his usual hello when I popped on the app one Sunday and immediately asked me out to dinner that night. We grabbed tacos in Inman Park for our first date in November of 2020. Around two hours in and the twentieth time he threw his head back laughing at one of my dad jokes, I had a distinct moment of thinking "wait, am I meeting THE ONE?" We spent the next nine months casually getting to know each other until deciding in August 2021 to jump all-in. I prayed my whole life for a man like Austin. Words truly do not convey the kind of cheerleader that I have in him... and everyone who knows me knows that I keep him on his toes. Regardless of the venture, he's shouting "Go Tay!" He is the most charismatic, hilarious, patient, kind and caring person that I have ever known. I am so lucky to call him mine. AUSTIN'S VERSION OF THE STORY: Tay and I met through the dating app Hinge. We matched, sent a few messages back and forth, and then she deleted the app and disappeared. This happened 3 times before I realized I had to make a quick move and ask her out if I wanted to get to know her, so I did, and we went out for dinner on a Sunday night to Bartaco. We hit it off from the jump; she was beautiful, smart, funny and I could tell that she was genuine and a pure-hearted person. We had similar interests and desires for life, grew up in similar ways, and were both ready to start a new chapter in life. It wasn’t all roses from there, I had met my match as far as stubbornness goes and that took a while for us to overcome. Once we did though, and we took that leap of faith to make our relationship official, I knew that I had my person. Since then, we’ve formed the deepest bond I have ever experienced. I can practically finish her sentences, and she’s able to pull emotion and love out of me that I never even knew I was capable of. Every day is either an adventure or spent planning our next, and we push each other so well to be the best versions of ourselves. We’re truly best friends and I cannot wait to spend my life with her.
