We met playing pickleball at Courtside Kitchen on Memorial Day of 2023. We didn't chat that day, but both caught one another's eye. 6 months later, we ran into each other again at Courtside Kitchen. This time, I (Taylor) decided to make a move and asked to be on Jared's team. We ended up hitting it off, but as the night came to an end we went our separate ways without exchanging numbers. I was very disappointed as I had developed a little bit of a crush on Jared that night. When I got to my car, I said a little prayer that if this was the right man for me, that God would put me on his mind. A few nights later I (Jared) went over to a good friend's house for dinner. Little did I know that friend was one of Taylor's good friends from college. Ironically, after giving a long monologue to him on how content I was in my singleness, he asked if I'd be open to being set up. After he described the girl he was wanting to set me up with and showed me her photo, I realized it was Taylor, the cute girl I'd played pickleball with a couple of times! I quickly forgot all about that monologue on singleness and was eager to go out with the girl who had caught my eye twice now! That following Tuesday we went on our first date at Crude in Fort Worth and it went phenomenal, just as I (Jared) had expected based on our other interactions! Here we are 9 months later, counting down the days till we say "I do!" Shout out to pickleball and Caleb Davis for The Future Mr. & Mrs. Archer!
