How we met...

Thank God for Love, Sex, & the IRS!

It is so fun to look back on how we met over six years ago. I (Hailey) was entering my freshman year of college at Morningside, and decided to audition for the fall play on campus called, "Love, Sex, and the IRS". Now, Dylan was in his junior year, and focused on band at Morningside, but was asked by a friend to audition for the show. He says he remembers seeing me during the audition process, and later that day told his friends at marching rehearsal "I saw my future wife today". But.... for me I remember meeting him the first time the cast got together for our first read through. It didn't take long from then for me to fall. I would go out of my way to impress this guy...learning his favorite music, hobbies, just to see if he'd notice me. Little did I know, he was doing the same thing. We started to hangout before and after rehearsals, then the weekends, I went to listen to him play jazz at the Marque (and basically fell madly in love from there have you seen him on stage?!) On October 24, 2017 he took me to Crave where he had our good friend Gage who was a waiter there at the time set up a special table with candles and flowers and asked me to be his girlfriend. The last nearly 7 years we have tackled new careers, new states, and plenty of adventures. We can't wait to start this next chapter of our lives together!
