How We Met

We went on our first date on October 14, 2021, after matching on Hinge. Tara invited Caitlyn to Fetch Dog Park Bar in Atlanta… along with a group of her friends. Caitlyn showed up ready for a date, but Tara barely gave her the time of day. Caitlyn ended up spending more time bonding with Ivy (Tara’s dog) than with Tara herself. At the end of the night, Tara dropped Caitlyn off at her car and said, “So you’re not going to kiss me?” Caitlyn, confused but intrigued, shrugged and went for it. Why not? Thinking Tara might’ve just been shy, Caitlyn asked her on a second date. Tara said no (yep—confusing again). So they stayed friends… and that was that. Almost a year later, on August 14, 2022, fate stepped in again. They matched on Tinder, met up, and this time, Tara decided to give Caitlyn a real chance. They went on their first real date to a Braves game, and something just clicked. Three days later, on August 17, they officially started dating. The second first date led to something neither of them expected—something real, something lasting. Now, here they are: still laughing, still in love, and getting married.
