Let’s get this out of the way first — huge thanks to Audrey and Stephanie for their perfectly timed meddling! Back in the fall of ’23, Audrey (Cooper’s sister-in-law) told him that her friend Stephanie had someone who’d be a great match for him. Cooper brushed it off at the time (total hater move!). Fast forward to the next summer, and Audrey sent him a picture of me to give him one more little nudge. This time, he decided to take the leap. After being told the wrong name (thanks a lot, Katelyn Dooley!), he finally found me on Instagram and hit “follow.” A few days later, he slid into my DMs — and that’s where it all began. We texted for a few weeks before meeting up for dinner and a movie, and from the very first date, it just felt easy. We clicked instantly and have been falling more in love ever since. Now, we can’t wait to start forever together — the countdown is officially on! 💍✨
