How we met
Morgan's Version
Most people don’t realize Jordan and I actually met over 10 years ago. I had just moved to Atlanta, and my roommate convinced me to try a new app called Tinder. I had no idea how it worked, but I saw a cute guy who seemed funny and decided to message. Jordan lived in a town I’d never heard of (Kennesaw), and we probably never would have crossed paths. We were strangers from different worlds with no mutual friends, but from our first conversation, everything felt easy. After weeks of nonstop talking, we finally met at Fado Irish Pub. The connection was instant, but life had other plans. I had just started a new job that required constant travel and was moving to California. Even though the timing wasn’t right, I knew I wanted Jordan in my life, so I made him promise we’d never ruin our friendship. No matter where life took us, we always found time for texts, phone calls, occasional drinks, endless memes, and advice about everything going on in our lives. Eventually, distance got in the way and we slowly lost touch. In 2024, work brought me back to Atlanta, and randomly decided to text Jordan to grab a beer. I even wore a wrinkled outfit because I thought, “It’s just Jordan, he won’t care.” I expected to catch up with an old friend, but the second we saw each other again, everything fell into place. We were never apart after that night, and decided we’d never be apart again. Now it’s official, we’re getting married!
How we met
Jordan's Version
Have you ever met someone you felt an instant connection with? Now imagine meeting that person on Tinder. Back in 2015, Morgan and I matched and hit it off right away. For weeks we bonded over jokes and getting to know each other from a distance. It was the golden age of meme culture, and Morgan generously shared her collection to pass the time. More importantly, we built a real connection before ever meeting in person, which made finally meeting that much more nerve-wracking. I remember one of us asking, “What if we meet and don’t even like each other?” Thankfully, that wasn’t the case. Morgan was just as beautiful and charming in person as she was over the phone. I left that first meeting thinking, wow, I really like her, but tried to manage expectations by telling myself we’d probably just be friends. Over the next few years we stayed in touch with the occasional meetup (and many more memes). Life got busy and, with her constant traveling, we drifted apart. Even then, she never felt truly gone. April 2024, I got an unexpected message from Morgan asking if I wanted to grab a drink while she was in town. I tried to hide my excitement but jumped at the chance to say yes. We instantly reconnected, this time on an even deeper level. Before long, I was completely head over heels and knew we’d be together forever. Mindlessly joining a dating app all those years ago turned out to be the best decision I ever made. It led me to endless happiness, my best friend, and my wife.
