How We Met

Love at first DM

In 2013 Hayden was gearing up to move across the country for what he planned on being a permanent stay, but just weeks before leaving he reached out to Katherine via Instagram. They exchanged numbers, he moved to California, and everyday for the 4 months to follow, her face was lit up (with joy from texting this cute, funny, caring, and honest stranger... but also her phone screen). Sources say she pulled him back to the east coast, so in April of 2014 they made a plan to FINALLY meet in person at Charlotte St. in Surf City, NC. They hurried out of their cars and wrapped eachother up in the biggest hug as he said “This is like the longest blind date ever.” They spent the entire evening covering every topic you could think of; the sky gave them the performance of a lifetime as the sun set in every color of the rainbow - as if to welcome them to the first day of the rest of their lives together.
