Back in 2017, Rodney was casually scrolling through Instagram when he stumbled across a volleyball picture. There she was - a tall, beautiful girl who played for Georgia Tech. He was instantly intrigued. Curious, he clicked on her profile and started scrolling through her photos. It was clear she was a talented athlete, but there was something more that caught his attention. Then he saw the picture Sydney holding a bunch of Labradoodles. She looked so pretty and wholesome, with a smile that could light up a room. There was something about that photo that made him want to get to know her. After a couple of days of liking her pictures, he finally decided to shoot his shot and send her a message. To his surprise…she responded! What started as a simple hello turned into them DMing back and forth for days. The conversation flowed effortlessly, and it wasn’t long before they exchanged numbers. From texting all the time to FaceTiming almost every day, they built a connection that felt natural and easy. A few months later, he knew he had to meet her in person. So, he planned a trip to Atlanta. For their first date, they went bowling. He wanted to see just how competitive she was and even though he beat her pretty good, he could see that fire in her. That competitiveness, mixed with her kindness and charm, showed Rodney that they could have something special. And the rest, as they say, is history.
