It was the last semester of both Olivia and Dylan’s senior year at Augusta University when their mutual friend decided it was time to set them up on a blind date. Dylan had made it clear that he was focused on school and wasn’t looking to date until after graduation, but after hearing about Olivia for a year and a half (thanks to their friend’s constant mentions during nursing school), he finally agreed to give it a shot. Olivia, on the other hand, had heard plenty about Dylan over the past few semesters and figured, “One date with the super sweet guy from her friends class couldn’t hurt!” So, she agreed to meet him. Their first date was casual—just a fun evening sharing pizza and chatting. Somehow, that one date turned into many more, with countless FaceTime calls, laughter, and the gradual realization that they were falling for each other. It wasn’t long before they both found themselves saying “I love you” just a month into knowing each other. It felt like they had known each other for much longer, and the connection was undeniable. Despite the distance that came after graduation, they made it work. Their relationship became a mix of weekend visits, late-night calls, and the kind of conversations that made them feel like they were right next to each other, no matter how far apart they were. What started as a blind date blossomed into something neither of them expected, and before long, they couldn’t imagine life without each other. From there, the rest was history, with every day bringing them closer to the love they now share. And they wouldn’t change a thing.
