Alex and Taylor’s love story kicked off the way most modern romances do—with a swipe. Our app was "Hinge." Taylor "liked" the pic of Alex and his best friend Matt striking a full-on prom pose (if you know, you know) and Alex "liked" a picture of Taylor and her Mom because he thought Taylor was pretty. The rest was history. Simple as that.

We both realized the other was the one—just not at the same time, because of course not. Alex knew pretty early on, like two months in, and just kinda kept it cool after Taylor politely said “Do I have to say it back?” While Taylor took a little longer, mostly because she was afraid of being wrong, but Alex still loved her when she wrote “I love you” in a card after being too afraid to say it out loud. But by six months, we were both on the same page. It just felt easy, solid, and somehow still fun even when we were doing absolutely nothing. That’s when it clicked—we were in it for the long haul.
