Our Story
How Two Goofballs Found Their Match
With a little help (and maybe some sneaky matchmaking) from family, two total strangers met for the first time at Rivertown Coffee in downtown Florence, Alabama. What started as a casual coffee date quickly turned into something neither of us saw coming! Days turned into weeks, weeks into months, and before we knew it a year had flown by. One pinky promise led to another, and now we're here, ready to make the biggest pinky promise of all forever!
