It all started with a single Hinge prompt: Sean: “You pick the date— competition or adventure.” Megan’s reply: “Let’s make it interesting: whoever wins the competition gets to plan the adventure.” Challenge accepted. A Cue-Stick Showdown They met at a cozy billiards bar, ready to spar over eight feet of green felt. Between laughs about work passions and uncanny similarities, Sean sank the eight ball —pure luck since it wasn’t looking good for Megan, but a win’s a win! As they wrapped up, Sean casually mentioned catching the third period of the Avalanche playoff game. Turns out, that was exactly Megan’s plan. To Sean’s excitement, that first date rolled straight into overtime at their apartment’s bar. Oh yeah, did we mention fate had us living in the same apartment complex?? Rock-Concert Adventure Because the billiards crown belonged to Megan, she cashed in her prize: an open invite for Sean to join her at a rock concert she’d planned to attend solo. Amid guitar riffs and head-banging choruses, Sean watched Megan belt every lyric with unbridled joy—and knew she was the one. Megan, meanwhile, realized she’d found a concert partner who could keep up with her energy and air-drum skills. They enjoyed many more concerts together over the next year of their love story and announced their love to each other at one of those concerts. From Lakeside Memories to Everyday Magic As conversations deepened, they discovered matching childhood summers at the cabin on the lake with their grandparents—bunkbeds, boats, and all. From that point on, Sean became Megan’s steady shoulder through hard times, her fellow mosh-pit explorer, and her best friend. And Megan? She snuck her way into Sean’s heart so completely that even he can’t remember life before her laugh. Our Favorite Love Story We still tease about that “lucky” eight-ball shot, but here’s the truth: competition sparked a friendship, adventure fanned it into love, and now we get to write the never-ending sequel together. We can’t wait to celebrate our next chapter with you!
