The simple answer: Timi Tooley. But here's our point of views.. Taylor POV: Timi invited me to New Years Eve in Chicago with her softball friends from college months in advance. Leading up to New Years Eve I was just getting over Covid and that morning I wasn't sure if I was going. I forced myself out of bed, got a spray tan, and said fuck it! Fast forward to Mikey and I sitting and drinking at the Airbnb, waiting for everyone to get there. They all walk in the door and within 20 minutes of Cass and I knowing each other I knew I didn't want to go another day without her in my life. It truly seemed like I knew her since we were kids. Everyone started getting ready while we were laughing uncontrollably, making up stupid little games because neither of us wanted to step away from each other. The whole weekend I felt the most comfortable I have ever felt in my life with someone; to dancing non stop, staying up until 7am talking and laughing obnoxiously as everyone else sleeps, and to sliding down the hallway in our socks while everyone else was going to bed. I knew Cass was special that weekend when I had so much fun doing the little things with her and could 100% be myself. Cass POV: A group of my college friends got together to celebrate the new year in downtown Chicago. We had gotten an Airbnb for a few days and were doing some exploring around the city before we really started to celebrate the night of December 31, 2021. We knew when we got back to the Airbnb that Timi had a couple friends waiting for us to ring in 2022. The moment I walked into our Airbnb above "The Dugout" bar, and hung out with Taylor for the first time, I knew I was going to marry her. A few games of beer pong and a couple shotguns on the balcony, and it felt like I had known her for years. While everybody else was getting ready, we couldn't seem to stop talking. We finally got dressed, made cheers with our friends, and made our way to the bar. The clock struck midnight and we can all guess who kissed me for the new year... Me and Taylor stayed up until 7am that morning just talking and getting to know each other. And truthfully, laughing the hardest I ever have. But before the night truly started, I sent a text to my best friend within the hour saying "holy fuck I'm in love. My home will be in Chicago with my wife Taylor". After this weekend, we never went another day without each other. Although hundreds of miles away, we talked every single day and traveled every couple weeks to spend time together. It only took so long for distance to be a nuisance, and we were living together in Illinois right after the new year in 2023. And now we spend everyday together laughing and loving our new life. And of course, always loving on our favorite boys, Bruno & Sulley. We can't wait to celebrate our story and our love with you! xoxo, Two Hot Messers
