We can't wait to (day)party with all of you!

I had just moved to Memphis for grad school and was swiping on Tinder to make myself get out of the house! I was in bed, watching Purple Rain and drinking whiskey at 11pm on a Thursday night when I got a match. We chatted a little and he asked me to lunch the next day. We met at Panera and hit it off right away. He was off to Nashville on a boys’ trip and I jokingly asked him to bring me back some hot chicken. He actually did, and our next date lasted until 2am. We’ve been attached at the hip ever since :)

Branden and I had driven to Memphis for a guy’s trip. The plan was to spend one night in Memphis, meet a few more friends, and drive to Nashville for the weekend. By happenchance I picked up my phone and stumbled across Devin’s profile. My friends and I were planning to leave Memphis the next day, so I knew I had to act fast because I had no idea when the next time I’d be in Memphis. I invited her to lunch at Panera Bread the next day and we hit it off from there. Immediate chemistry. With me only passing through Memphis for less than 24 hours, the chances of us meeting were slim to none. The chances of us both swiping right within that 30 minute timespan were dismal. But when something is meant to be, it will be; and that’s the way I feel about the fated meeting of my best friend.
