Dylan and Carrie first crossed paths at the Kiepersol tasting room. Carrie started working there in 2019, and Dylan joined in 2021. They initially had a friendly work relationship, but over time, they started looking forward to the days when they’d both be there, and feeling a little disappointed when the other wasn’t.

One day, Dylan mentioned that he was newly single and Carrie thought, Maybe I should text him… but I’ll give him some time. That very same day, three girls flirted with him at the bar and got his phone number. Carrie figured she couldn’t wait any longer, so she sent him a funny TikTok of a woman making a terrible Old Fashioned.

That sparked a conversation, and before long, Dylan asked if she’d like to go out for drinks sometime. Their first date was on May 4th, 2022. Dylan was drawn to Carrie’s sense of humor and kindness, while Carrie fell for Dylan’s passion and protectiveness. They quickly became inseparable.

Through some of the toughest moments, including the illness and loss of Carrie’s father, Dylan was there to support her. Her dad was happy to see Carrie with a man who loved her the way he knew she should be loved and gave Dylan his blessing before passing.

Now, through both the hard times and the good, they’re building a life together. They argue about who loves the other more, enjoy trying new foods, sipping good wine and whiskey, watching romcoms, and getting lost in books (Dylan in business and self-improvement, Carrie in fantasy adventures).

They’re excited for the next chapter in their story, and they hope you’ll be there to celebrate with them as they begin this new journey together.
