It all began with a last-minute double date neither of us expected — and somehow, it changed everything. I had just transferred to College Station for nursing school and recently joined a sorority. One of our mutual friends reached out with an idea: a casual double date that weekend. The catch? I was back home visiting my family in North Texas. Still, something told me I needed to go. So, I packed up early, drove the three hours back, and said yes to a night out. Peyton had just returned from a rotation in Poland with the military the week before. Little did we know, our timing couldn’t have been more perfect. We met at our friend’s house and almost instantly clicked—especially during the drive to Poets, bonding over our shared taste in music and Zach Bryan’s newest album. By the time we arrived, the nerves were gone… and so, apparently, was my ability to play pool. (Spoiler: I'm terrible.) But we laughed, talked, and unintentionally stayed until the place closed. The night didn’t end there—we made our way to Northgate for pizza and even more conversation. The next morning? Brunch, of course. Another double date that felt like the start of something much bigger. From that weekend on, we’ve been inseparable. What started with a spontaneous plan and a shared love for music turned into our greatest adventure yet. Now, we’re beyond excited to celebrate this next chapter with the people who’ve supported us from the start. We can’t wait to say "I do" and keep writing our story—one laugh, road trip, and late-night pizza at a time.
