We met working at Starbucks together in 2015. As fate would have it, we started at the same store right around the same time. We quickly bonded over being "baby baristas" and our shared love for coffee. Over time, we grew to be close friends, but lost touch after being separated to pursue higher education. That was until a follow on Instagram and a direct message reading, "What up stranger" reconnected us and reignited what we felt for each other all those years ago making lattes together. After a whirlwind trip to Reno, a couple of failed hiking adventures, and a road trip to Texas, it became obvious to both of us that we wanted to be together for the rest of our lives.
