Dustin had just finished his first year of law school at the University of Oregon, and Taylor was a second-year practicing attorney when fate—and Hinge—brought them together. Taylor swore she would never end up with another lawyer, but Dustin quickly proved her wrong. Their first date was at The Bier Stein in Eugene, and despite the odds, it was unforgettable. Dustin was battling poison oak (and the steroids to fight it), while Taylor had just attended her sister’s bachelorette weekend. Both showed up a little bruised and battered, but none of that mattered—sparks flew instantly, and the connection was undeniable. From there, their story unfolded naturally. They met each other’s families and friends, and their dogs quickly became best buddies. Together, they navigated law school, bar exams, job changes, and everything in between. Along the way, they filled their days with adventures: hiking, softball, dog walks, camping, Duck games, brewery hops, espresso dates, food explorations, and even the occasional quirky prize Taylor won on the radio. Life was never dull, and always better together. When Dustin popped the question, it was the easiest “yes” Taylor could give. That same month was a whirlwind: Dustin took the bar exam, they spent a week in Isla Mujeres, Taylor turned 30, they bought their first home, and topped it all off with their engagement—the perfect cherry on top. Now, Taylor and Dustin can’t wait to celebrate their wedding day surrounded by the people they love, in the city where their story first began.
