In the generation of online dating, Kory and Cassie met on a dating platform called HER. Despite Kory not having one picture that showed his entire face, Cassie wanted to know more. She typically will describe this as an "energy" that she gravitated to. Kory felt it too, and sent a heart to her dating profile. Cassie wasted no time and slid into Kory's DMs being totally all-alluring and mysterious, sending the first words they would ever exchange between each other. She settled on: "Hey". After a month of online dating through text messaging and Facetiming (Kory finally got to show Cassie what he actually looked like!), they decided to meet in person at Crave Cafe in Studio City. Cassie remembers being so anxious to meet Kory, she even arrived 30 minutes before their agreed meeting time. Anyone who knows Cassie really well knows that she is a habitual late person, so her early attendance means that she really liked him. Kory remembers feeling a sense of calm around him before the date, he even told Cassie multiple times before they met up how excited he was. The night was spent over hot chocolate, background music, and an extremity of butterflies. The couple just remembers never wanting to leave each other. They spent 5 hours together that night, in the coffee shop, driving through Los Angeles, and sitting on Cassie's car hood watching the stars together and sharing secrets. They did not know it at the time, but this was the start of their forever.
