We’re getting Married!

Some love stories begin with a grand gesture, others with an unexpected spark. Taylor and Kevin’s story started with a pint of beer, a touch of fate, and a heart that instantly recognized something special. It all began at Lost Grove Brewing, where Taylor was expertly pouring beers and, unknowingly, setting the stage for destiny to work its magic. One evening, Kevin strolled in from his workplace next door at Madre, plopped down at the bar, and opened up about his dreams—longing for something more, something fulfilling and what he knew he deserved. Taylor, ever the attentive listener, took in his words before delivering a heartfelt challenge: "Well, what are you going to do about it? You need to make those dreams happen." Kevin took those words to heart—so much so that he didn’t return for three whole months. Maybe he was working on himself. Maybe he was waiting for the right moment. Or maybe he just needed to summon the courage to see Taylor again. But when he finally walked back through the doors, something in Taylor knew—this was more than just a chance encounter. Without hesitation, she stepped around the bar and embraced him, as if greeting someone who was meant to be part of her story all along. The first words that followed? "Did you get that manager position?!" And with a bright smile, Kevin confirmed that he had. They laughed, they talked, and they thought they were saying goodbye for the night. But love has a way of making its own plans. A few hours later, Taylor, on a rare whim, decided to grab a late-night drink at The Shed—something she almost never did. And across the room, as if guided by an unseen force, stood Kevin. When his friend stepped away for a moment, Taylor, heart pounding and emboldened by something deeper than fate, walked over and said, "I never do this, but can I give you my number?" Kevin didn’t hesitate. "Hell yeah, you can." Later, Kevin admitted he had assumed Taylor was married this whole time—something about her warmth and presence made him think she was already tied down. But that night changed everything. Their first date almost didn’t happen. Taylor, in an all-too-human moment, realized they had double-booked dinner plans with her sister and texted Kevin to reschedule. But Kevin, determined not to let a perfect moment slip away, picked up the phone and called. "That’s fine," he said, "but when would you like to reschedule?" And just like that, they set a new plan in motion. The very next morning after their original first date was scheduled, they met again—right where their story began—Lost Grove Brewing. Six years later, Taylor and Kevin have grown together in ways they never could have imagined. Through laughter, patience, and an unshakable love, they have built a life filled with adventure, understanding, and an undeniable sense of home in one another. And just like that first night, they know that with a little courage, the right timing, and a whole lot of love, anything is possible. One could even say, love at "first sight".
