We met the only way possible in 2024: on Hinge — the very first person Elizabeth met there after she had quite literally exhausted every single option on Bumble. For once, the algorithm finally did its job. We started talking, went on a date, and somewhere between sarcastic jokes and Georgia football conversations, we realized we actually liked each other. We both had been dragging our feet and pretending we didn’t like each other that much. Turns out we did. Elizabeth came with a package deal — two cats (Tori and Mr. Kitty), a dog (Beaux), and a squirrel named Rambo — and Phillip stepped into his unexpected role as a full-time animal dad like a champ. We bonded over a lot, but Georgia football sealed the deal. Nothing says “soulmates” like roadtripping to Athens every other week. Phillip proposed in Charleston at the pier, and Elizabeth blacked out from surprise. And now here we are — planning a wedding, combining households, and trying to convince each other we’re not the chaotic ones in the relationship.
