Gage and Peyton matched on Tinder in 2019, right at the end of high school—proof that sometimes swiping right really does change your life. Their first real meeting was at a party at Gage’s house, where they instantly hit it off and ended up talking all night long. Peyton even invited herself to Gage’s prom, and the rest was history. Their love survived a year of long distance while Peyton was at the University of Cincinnati, with plenty of 1.5-hour drives just to spend time together. Eventually, Gage decided the distance wasn’t worth it and made the move too. After five years together (and a little gentle pressure from Peyton), Gage proposed just before Christmas in Newport—one of their favorite places. After taking pictures by the water, Peyton turned around to find Gage on one knee behind her. It was one of the best days of their lives, and they can’t wait to celebrate the next chapter with you.
