Like every great modern day love story, ours began… on Facebook Dating. Taylor sent the first message — a friendly “How’s your Thursday?” — and waited. Katie didn’t respond until Friday with the very romantic update: “Sorry, I’m home with Covid.” Naturally, Taylor assumed she was a catfish. With only a couple photos and almost no information on her profile, it wasn’t looking promising. Little did he know Katie had made the profile about 48 hours earlier and was, in fact, very real. Before their first date, Katie did what she does best: took a nap. During that nap, she had a nightmare that Taylor was a full-blown Disney adult who couldn’t wait to show off his Mickey-themed apartment. She woke up in a panic, realizing two things: 1. She had exactly one hour to get ready, and 2. She might be about to go out with a man who collected Minnie ears. Thankfully, when she arrived, she found zero evidence of Disney shrines and a normal (and very handsome) Taylor. For their first date, they chose the most casual activity possible: axe throwing. Between the competitiveness, the laughter, and the surprisingly good aim, they quickly realized how natural everything felt. They also discovered they had way more in common than expected — like their love for country music, fast food, and the very specific personality trait of not drinking coffee but absolutely loving energy drinks. What started with a delayed reply and a questionable dream turned into something real, easy, and full of laughter. And now, they can’t wait to celebrate the next chapter of their story with all the people who mean the most to them.
