I (Hayden) was starting my Masters Degree at the University of Dayton while Anna was beginning her first year of Law School. We originally followed each other on social media as we had a mutual friend, but had messaged each other once we both knew we were in the same area. During the fall of 2021 we had gone on several dates and quickly learned how much we enjoyed spending time together. One of the first things we noticed about one another is our love for Jesus and our dedication to our faith. We started dating in the late fall and fell in love soon after.

Our first year together was full of roadtrips to St. Clairsville and Louisville to meet each other’s families, growing closer to one another, and ultimately knowing how we are each other’s perfect match. Our favorite things to do include watching the Buckeyes play (yes Anna turned me into a Buckeyes fan), finding the best new spots to eat, and getting to spend time with our friends and family. Now, as over 3 years have gone by, we truly know we are each other’s best friends and are both so excited for this next chapter of our lives!
