Buck and Hailey were both members of the Alaska Off-road Toyota Group. They talked online for a few weeks and both went to Karaoke night at the Blue Fox (local bar) several times, but never said hello to each other until one night, when Hailey's friend called Buck over from the other side of the bar, forcing them to meet in person. They left the bar together that night, playing a joke on their friends, but only checked out each others vehicles and then went their separate ways.

After that night, they started hanging out more, learned they lived a minute down the road from each other, became gym buddies, and were the type of friends who saw each other almost daily. Buck was Hailey's wedding date (as friends) in June 2022 and it was at this wedding that Hailey's mom fell in love with Buck before she did, but they remained just friends. Fast forward to July, Hailey relied on Buck to pick her up from the airport after a month of fishing and to her surprise, he didn't forget the day and time she arrived! Hailey was gone with no service/internet for a month, so she was scared that he wouldn't remember (lol). Buck invited Hailey to a Lee Brice concert that week, but told her the wrong day. Hailey got dressed up in her best country concert get-up, only to learn he had told her the wrong day. To make up for his mistake and because she was already dressed up, he took her to dinner at a restaurant she had been craving after a month away.

Hailey was still oblivious at this point that he wanted to be anything more than friends. The next day, they went to the concert, and Buck made his move with a kiss during the chorus of the song, "Rumor". The rest is history!
