After being on the Hinge app on and off since the very first year of Hinge, it’s been somewhat overwhelming, as feeling like it would never happen to me! I even went and had an interview for the Bachelor (can thank my mom for that one). While I hopped off the dating scenes for about a month in Dec 2022. I would ugly cry to my mom that I was now in my 30s still single as a Pringle, so My mom started pressuring me to get back out there. I finally redownloaded the app in January 2023. Had a couple of dates lined up and one in particular, who struck my interest, actually rescheduled on me 3 SEPARATE TIMES, but something told me to keep talking to this guy. We finally had our first date, that Sunday following Valentine’s Day feb 2023. I had him meet me at 8pm, on a Sunday (that’s a work night, can’t believe he met up with me that late! I had to work late thus leading to a late date night) but he met me at one of my favorite spots in Charlotte, Queen Park Social in South End Charlotte off Yancy Rd. We refilled our game tickets about 3 times as our night continued and flowed with endless conversations and quickly found we had a lot in common. As our night came to an end about 2 and hours later … he walked me to my car, gave me an awkward half ass hug (I get it, it’s the first date, how does one say good bye) but me being me and as bold and outspoken as I am and thinking, damn, we just had a hell of a good night and no kiss; only a half ass hug. As he was walking away to his car, I yelled out “hey, you forgetting something!” And pointed to my lips. As he stumbled awkwardly back over to my car, he finally gave me a big hug and followed with a big smooch. I’d say after that, everything else changed for me (and him!). We ended up going out on a 2nd date that following day, Monday night where I came over to his place and he made me dinner. We got drunk on wine, had endless conversations and lots of laughter. Later that week, He made dinner reservations at Dresslers in Huntersville, NC where he told me our reservations time was at 6:30pm, me being late per usual (to anything I do in life) he quickly learned that about me and actually made the reservation for 7pm so that I’d be on time (which we were! Prob the only thing I’ve ever been on time for in my life!). That night at Dresslers, he swooned me with a bottle of wine, appetizer and our entrees followed by ice cream at one of his favorite spots, Kilwins (I always get the Superman blue ice cream and any man that can love me for a spoon full of dark blue ice cream all over my mouth, is a green light for me!! He clearly passed the test!) Following that night, we started watching Ted Lasso, and continued our night at his place together. He then causally asked me, “do you wanna be my gf”? I clearly said yes! As we continued to have spontaneous date nights, we forgot what date we decided our anniversary was so we made up March 11th as our anniversary! As we continued our journey together, one of our favorite things to do together is to go to Charlotte FC games! While he was still single and had just moved to Charlotte, NC, he bought 2 supporter section season tickets, thinking he could easily meet a girl and be able to use it to his advantage to take a girl on a date and needless to say, I was the first date and now his forever Charlotte FC date! We both play soccer as well and referee soccer so that was clearly a plus! After that, we decided we both were no longer going to see anyone else and to remove our dating apps and the rest is history! I remember my best guy friend from college was getting married and at the time of the invitation I checked SINGLE, a month later I had texted him if I could change mine to a plus one. He said he was only allowing couples that were either together for awhile or married but would let me know if ppl canceled.. later he told me “yall better end up working out, come on and bring him!”After the wedding, the bride threw her bouquet… guess who caught it … ME! Hunter was fighting for his life that night!! So now that I’ve introduced you to our story, pls meet, Hunter Glasgow and now… drumroll please….me, the future Mrs Glasgow!! So let me continue telling you about the rest of our story! As our dating life was seamless as it felt so easy and as if we had known each other for years, we were on opposite sides of the city. He was living in Huntersville, NC and I was living in Charlotte, NC closer to the boarder of SC. If anyone knows anything about 485N, you know a 30 min drive takes about an hour anywhere you go and there is no way around it. He worked closer on my side of town, but I had a roommate, so we were challenged with not wanting to burden my roommate feeling like she had a 3rd roommate living at our apartment so I traveled across town almost every night to and from for work, refing soccer games in SC and back to Huntersville. It was certainly a challenge for us but thankfully, my roommate and Hunter were both PA’s so they had a common interest of being able to relate to one another being in the healthcare world. Fun fact about our story: back in college I did a random palm reading and she told me I’d end up with someone in healthcare… little did I know my palm reading would come true! Fast forward in time, it’s now summer and both of our leases were coming to an end in Dec 2023. We had to make a decision whether we were moving in together or not. We looked into possibly renting an apt Together but wanted to have 2-3 bedrooms for guest and a work from home space but those rent prices were insane. So we looked to see how much renting a home would be and it was just as crazy that it made sense to buy and have a mortgage. So while we were still freshly dating, it seemed crazy we were discussing the possibility of BUYING A HOUSE. Fast fwd to August we found a great price for a townhome in Charlotte in between where we both work and moved in, in August 2023. As we settled to being new home owners and doing lots of DIY projects thanks to Tik Tok! Shortly after, we went on our first trip together to Europe to go watch a professional English soccer match together and had the absolute best time! Because his last name is Glasgow, his wish was to make a trip to Scotland and tour the country! Fast forward to December, Hunter was planning a complete surprise engagement with all our close friends and even my close friends from my home town in Columbia, SC! He got the ring specialty made by himself (props to him there!) and has my bestest and closest 2 friends (my old roommate and work bestie) a surprise engagement in 2 WEEKS TIME!! Can’t imagine the stress they felt but it was held at Fahrenheit in Charlotte, NC. While we arrived for our dinner reservations, Hunter seemed off and I noticed he was already at the bar on his 3rd beer! In my mind I’m thinking, damn! Didn’t know we were turning up like that in here! As our group dinner comes to an end, my old roommate, Megan, asks me to help her fix her hair in the bathroom, at this point, I knew something was up bc I knew damn well her hair was fine! But I went to the bathroom and didn’t think much else if it. During that time, everyone flocked to the outdoor rooftop area. I saw everyone rounded up looking at us but Hunter tells me he wants a photo for his mom for Christmas, so in my mind I’m thinking, we gotta get this photo and I need it to be on my good side! Seconds later, Hunter gets down on one knee, and asks me to Marry him, of course I said YES.. followed by me ugly crying!! As our journey together continues, we adopted a Great Dane puppy together!! While we still have lots of DIY home projects, places to visit, and attending Charlotte FC matches, we are now planning our 2025 Wedding! We just marked our date and venue for Memorial Day weekend at The Ballantyne Hotel and while we’re still debating on where we’re going for honey moon, our ideas are either the Virgin Islands or Aruba, def somewhere tropical bc it’s 5 o’clock somewhere!! Cheers to many more years !! Heather + Hunter ❤️

Our love story

Our Story

Photos

My A1 since Day1 (literally) bringing it all the way back to daycare days! We jokingly say that had we met in our adult years, we probably would not have clicked, but she’s stuck with me now (no takezie backzies). If you ever find yourself in a position where you are lost, Tania is by far the only person I know with a photographic memory and calls herself a human GPS! Fun fact: she’s a super genius at Jeopardy!

Tania Hyler

My bff since college (although we knew each other in high school- she was just older than me) if you know her well enough, you know she goes by Bender. If someone says Melissa, immediately we’re like “WHO?”. Bender is one of the funniest and most spontaneous people I know - always the life of the party and def my spirit animal (we love vicariously through her). Bender and I have a very special bond quoting Shrek and Dumb and Dumber in almost every setting or situation we’re in! Fun fact: Bender can def out drink/chug anyone she’s ever met! We have plenty of great stories to tell! I’m sure she’ll drop a few during her wedding speech 🕺🏼

Melissa Bender

My little sis! She’s the daredevil out of all the siblings and not afraid to get dirty! She is the sweetest person I know and is willing to give her last dollar if she knew you needed it more! She is a mother of 2 beautiful little boys and happily married. Fun fact: I actually introduced her to her husband back in college! 💕

Brittany Erickson

Courtney is my youngest sister and is my little “mini-me”! We both love going shopping together and bonding over our favorite tv shows (although she binge watches faster than me). She enjoys working in her garden at home and Chinese buffets on the weekend with the family! She also loves coming up to Charlotte and spending summer weekends with me ❤️

Courtney Hale

Chanel and I became friends when we were first introduced during our 1st job ever- ENTERPRISE! While the job totally sucked, a friendship was found! Chanel is a foodie, traveler a heart, and lover of music festivals! Fun fact: she may not respond in the group chats, but you can always count on her to be there and show up! 

Chanel Clyburn

Megan and I met in the most spontaneous way and makes sense with our personalities as we are both very talkative and bubbly. Megan is the most loyal, fun, friendliest, and nicest person I know. Fun fact - we were roommates for 2 years together and was by far my best roommate I’ve ever had!

Megan Okuda

Lauren and I met in the most random way possible at work! I was sitting at my desk while she walks over to me ever so peacefully and asks me “hey! Don’t you live in Ayrsley?” Quickly we realized we lived walking distance from each other. We quickly bonded with fun conversations and getting in trouble at work for talking too loudly and working as little as possible. She’s my lunch and TJ Maxx buddy for life and is also one of my best pals at work (Maersk) ❤️

Lauren Fercken

Kat is the most genuine person I know and truly has the biggest heart. She see’s the good in everyone and will be your biggest supporter. Fun fact : we met thru the social committee at work (Maersk) and is def my work bestie for life! 

Kat Brinkley

Morgan is one of my first friends I met after moving to Charlotte! We met in the most funniest ways! Back when Gin Mill was the OG bar on South End, I was about to walk out of the bathroom and Morgan quickly stopped me from walking out by letting me know I had toilet paper on my shoe! Morgan is definitely the most funniest person I know and we share a special bond over narrating SpongeBob, Shrek, and The Grinch quotes in almost every setting we’re in together!

Morgan Brown

Ryan is my brother from another mother. We met by being roommates in PA school. Ryan always pushed me to be a better person whether it was school or life in general, he made sure I was on the right path. We’ve endured a lot of adversity together through PA school and fellowship training in California. Ryan is a huge Oregon Ducks fan given that’s his Alma Mater. Please make sure to scream “SCO’ DUCKS” when you see him. 

Ryan Higgins

Josh is my best friend since the 3rd grade. This man has been through life with me since day 1. It is a no brainer and an honor to have him as a best man in my wedding. Fun fact: I wrote a book about Josh when I was in the 7th grade. Needless to say, I am not a good author. 😂🤣

Josh Kieb

Aaron was one of the first guys I met during our PA school years. He is one of the nicest, encouraging guys I have ever met. Aaron is a huge Ohio State buckeye fan and enjoys his gym workouts 💪. Without a doubt to have him as a groomsmen is an honor. 

Aaron King

Dan was the first person I talked to during our PA school interviews. After interviews, we both ran into each other again at first day of PA class. Since that day, we’ve always remained close. I am slowly turning him into a CLTFC fan. Dan is an Alma mater of Alabama and loves to yell “ROLL TIDE.” He is also the smartest orthopedic provider I have ever met. He is an orthopedic WIZARD. 

Dan Zavadil 

Collin was my roommate from freshmen year at UNCW. Collin is former Airforce and now working to obtain his counseling license in California. He would eat all my parents’ ice cream when we visited them during college. They knew they better stock up that freezer if Collin was coming over. 

Collin Waldrop 

Brendon and I met via Facebook through Josh. We are avid soccer fans and are always meeting up for MUFC and Charlotte FC matches. He is my go to if a soccer game isn’t going our way. Whether is poor performance about a player or celebrating a goal, we enjoy our ups and downs through the sport

Brendon Bryant

Cory is my big brother. He loves to tell the story how he has all the street smarts and I got all the book smarts. Cory is a phenomenal critical care paramedic and dog dad to Tucker. He enjoys shooting guns and tuning up his car. He can fix anything he gets his hands on (I am jealous of this). 

Cory Dean

Dylan AKA DILLPICKLE! My soon to be brother in law. Dylan is an incredible guy who is always caring for others. I am so excited to have him as official family. Dylan enjoys spending times outdoors whether it’s on his 4-wheeler, jet ski, shooting guns, or hunting.
