Two east coast kids somehow found themselves in Colorado Springs. Like so many modern love stories, it started on Hinge. Brandon used his one “rose of the week” and sent it to Amber with the caption, “Plz accept this rose.” Amber had to pause for a moment—did she really want to go on a date with a guy who spelled “please” with a Z? Luckily, she decided to give him a chance. For their first date, Brandon picked Jake and Telly’s, a cozy Greek restaurant. Conversation flowed easily, and when the night felt too good to end, Amber suggested a second stop. The only place still open was Thunder and Buttons, a quirky little bar where they scribbled a sentence on a piece of paper and tucked it into the wall. From that night on, they never really stopped hanging out. Four years later, they’re still writing their story—together.
