How We Met

Not your average first date

The first time Vince and Taylor saw each other, they didn’t actually meet. Vince noticed Taylor, but she was too distracted with other things that day. A mutual friend told them about each other, but neither of them did anything about it. It wasn’t until a “Sunday Funday” side-by-side ride that Taylor decided to add Vince on Facebook. Over the next three months, Vince kept trying to run into Taylor at Rock Dam, while Taylor started posting on Facebook more than ever—hoping he might be interested. Eventually, they finally crossed paths. Vince walked right up to Taylor and her parents to chat. And what did Taylor do? She just stood there, completely starstruck, saying absolutely nothing. Her parents later teased her, saying it took courage for Vince to come talk to them. Taylor knew exactly how she’d fix it. After leaving with her parents and their riding group, she turned to Facebook again. She messaged Vince, apologized for being awkward and mute, and let him know where their next stop would be—if he was still interested. No surprise—Vince showed up after winning a gun, and surprisingly, he brought his parents along too. The rest of the night, he and Taylor spent hours chatting and dancing—on the dance floor of a wedding they happened to crash. The very next weekend, Vince traveled to Minnesota to visit Taylor, and by then, they both just knew. So the short version is: they met, Taylor said nothing, Vince won a gun, they met the parents, crashed a wedding, shared a kiss — the end
