As Cass would tell it: “ I had the biggest crush on Travis in high school, I was a freshman and he was a senior. We actually had study hall together, he would talk to me every single day. Fast forward to 2018, I was single and my best friend was all over dating apps. She told me to join tinder or something and I was so not about just hooking up with people, I was really happy with who I was and where my life was at but I thought - what could hurt. That night I joined Bumble, and it’s like the girl has to message the guy first- which seemed up my alley cause I was over guys sending me lame pick up lines or asking for my Snapchat. So while I laid in bed with my best friend I swiped through all these guys I went to high school with or saw out in bars- until I came to THE Travis Marsh. I remember I turned to my best friend and I said “omg it’s the guy I had a massive crush on in high school! Watch, I’m gonna make him my boyfriend”. Travis’ profile said he liked hanging out with his friends and loved marvel movies, and the piece to resistance- he was looking for someone who would come to all his softball games and support him. What more was there to say? His pictures were of him and his mom- adorable, him and his friends - all of which I graduated with, double perfect, and him at stray dog with a SnapBack on drinking a captain and coke- amazing. He brings up my message to everyone- that’s how I know I had him haha. We match- no surprise. But my message to him was quite simple, but clever as I am- “ if you message me back I’ll be your #1 fan for the rest of our lives.” That was in October of 2018. We talked for two whole months, I invited him over multiple times, I invited him to my moms surprise Halloween party, I offered to go to any and all sporting games he played ( if you know him, you know he plays them ALL), but the day he finally decided to come over was Christmas Eve. He got lost on the way to my apartment, so I had to coach him on how to get there. But the second he walked into my apartment door and gave me a hug I felt so at home and after talking for hours and watching movies, cuddling and joking until about 1 am I knew I had fallen in love with who he was as a person, his beliefs, and honestly anything that came along with him. I think the selling point to me was when we both said we were family oriented and I asked who his most important person was in his life and he said his mom. They say you know when you know, I knew then. Funniest thing ever though- when I brought up that we had study hall together, talked everyday and I had a crush on him in high school- he literally said to my face that he doesn’t remember me at all HAHA so in typical me fashion, I give him major shit for it!”
As Travis would tell it: “
Cass: “ I knew Travis was the one a couple times actually. It’s hard to explain but you get this feeling and it’s only gets stronger as each affirming factor sets in. The first time was when I went to an all night softball tournament with him right after I got off work and we sat around for hours waiting for his team to play taking hilarious videos and pictures together, when it came time for a break in between his team playing and waiting to see who they played next I said I hadn’t eaten since 3pm and it was 12am and he dragged me out to his jeep and drove me to three different Walgreens to get snacks and drinks. The games ended at 6 am on a Saturday and instead of just dropping me off at my apartment and going home, he walked upstairs and crawled into bed with me and played with my hair until I fell asleep. The second time was when he held my niece when she wanted only him to pick her up, and he was super baby hesitant, but he just totally embraced her and danced and sang baby shark- now they’re thick as thieves. & the most pivotal moment would be when we lost his dad, most people push away but Trav and I grew closer. We seeked each other out in every situation and when I got diagnosed with anxiety and depression he left work to be with me in the hospital, he always told me that we were a team. He never gave up on me, and that’s how I knew he was the one.” Travis: “
