When you work all day and spend most of your time at home, how are you supposed to meet anyone? That was the question Hayden and Alisa had in 2019. And ironically, both of their solutions were to join the dating app, Bumble. They swiped right on each other and talked for months before going on a date. However, that date almost never happened. According to Alisa, she was nervous the first two times they were meant to meet up and took a “rain check.” According to Hayden, she stood him up twice and third time would be the last, But she finally agreed and enjoyed their first date at Amerigo, an Italian restaurant. Hayden later asked what she was doing the next day and the rest is history.

Hayden and Alisa both went to the University of Mississippi, but never ran into each other. It was fate that they ended up meeting in Jackson after college. They both enjoy watching football, but have a house divided (Ole Miss, Alabama, and Clemson), eating all the food, and spending time with their puppy Leo.

Almost 3 years into dating, Hayden proposed in a way he knew Alisa would love - dinner at their first date spot, Amerigo, followed by an Italian themed escape room. Alisa and Hayden now reside right outside of Myrtle Beach and have enjoyed starting to settle here.
