Our story began with a simple swipe on Tinder, but it didn’t take long for us to realize we were something special. Hayden was quick to ask Kaitlyn for a FaceTime call, and from that moment, our connection grew stronger each day. Our first date was on April 20, 2022, at The Bone Garden, a cozy Mexican restaurant, and it felt like the beginning of something wonderful; Kaitlyn sharing the sentiment of how easy and comfortable talking to and being with Hayden. By our fourth date, we found ourselves at Shaky Knees Music Festival, where, on May 1, 2022, Hayden officially asked Kaitlyn to be his girlfriend. Just a month into dating, Kaitlyn was the first to say "I love you" in May 2022, and Hayden quickly returned the sentiment. Three months into dating, we took a trip to Hawaii together in July 2022, and it was there that we realized how easy and comfortable being together truly was. We’ve done life together ever since, sharing everything from spontaneous adventures to quiet, everyday moments. On February 21, 2025, Hayden proposed at a beautiful cabin in North Georgia, and of course, Kaitlyn said yes. We’re beyond excited to continue our journey and can’t wait to celebrate with all of you on Sunday, October 12, 2025!
