In January 2019, Steven moved to Atlanta from Denver. Corrie moved to Atlanta from Nashville in November 2019. They were both on a popular dating app, Hinge, and matched with each other in December 2019. At the time, they were in their hometowns (Columbia, SC and Tuscaloosa, AL) visiting family for the holidays. They texted for a few days before Steven asked Corrie if she wanted to meet for a drink after the new year. She immediately agreed! On their first date, Corrie and Steven met at Scofflaw Brewery in Atlanta. They had a great time getting to know each other better for a few hours while enjoying the local beer! They clicked right away and went on more dates over the next few weeks to restaurants and glow-in-the-dark miniature golf. They started dating seriously, meeting each other's friends and family, and traveling together.
In April 2021 Corrie and Steven took a trip to the Great Smoky Mountains in Bryson City, NC with Steven's best friend and his wife from Charlotte. On Friday, April 9, 2021 the group went for a hike. At the end of the hike, they stopped to take pictures. Corrie and Steven stood together gazing at the beautiful scenery, then Steven turned toward Corrie, grabbed both of her hands, and said he couldn't wait to spend life with her! He got down on one knee, pulled out a stunning ring, and popped the question! Corrie, of course, with a huge smile on her face said, "Oh my gosh, YES!"
