How We Met

Picture of How We Met

Our love story began on a Wednesday night, in a quaint little western bar called Round Up. Matthew was in town for work, and fate led him to that particular establishment, where he found himself accompanied by a coworker. Little did he know that this seemingly ordinary evening would become the prologue to our beautiful journey.


Meanwhile, Katelin, driven by the spirit of adventure and a love for line dancing, had made the journey to the same Western Bar with her friends. Serendipity brought her to the Ladies Night bar, right next to where Matthew and his coworker were stationed. A casual conversation ensued, but it was only the beginning of the unfolding tale.


As the night progressed, Katelin noticed Matthew standing alone at the bar, sporting a rather questionable FSU hat. Without hesitation, she expressed her disdain for FSU, initiating a spirited exchange about football. The conversation flowed effortlessly, with Matthew left stunned by Katelin's boldness and wit. The initial clash over college football loyalties paved the way for a connection that transcended the boundaries of a chance encounter.


Despite not exchanging contact information, plans were made for the following Wednesday, fueled by the hope that neither would be ghosted. The anticipation of that fateful reunion lingered in the air, and it was clear that something special was on the horizon.


The next week arrived, and Katelin, armed with the support of her best friend Michelle, returned to Round Up. Doubt lingered in her mind—what if Matthew didn't show up? The absence of contact information heightened the uncertainty, but fate had other plans. As Katelin entered the venue, her eyes instinctively darted towards the Ladies Night bar, where she had first met Matthew. To her delight, he was there with a few coworkers in tow.


The night unfolded with laughter, dancing, and animated conversations. Michelle, a stellar wing woman, sang Katelin's praises, but it was evident that Matthew had already recognized the uniqueness of the connection. He had come back solely for her, keeping his focus on Katelin throughout the night.


As the evening reached its crescendo, numbers were exchanged, sealing the promise of a future rendezvous. Our "How we met" story became a testament to the unexpected twists of fate, the power of shared passions, and the magic that can unfold in a humble western bar on any given Wednesday night.
