We met in October 2020 at Meckley's Flavor Fruit Farm and it wasn't long before we had our first date. Within a few months we'd met each other's families, went on more dates, and even went to Hawaii together. After graduating from Hillsdale College in May of 2022, Peyton attended graduate school for occupational therapy and Tricia went to work in Cleveland and adopted a cat named Otto. Long distance relationships have their challenges, but when Peyton proposed in March of 2023, wedding planning began. Tricia moved to Kansas City, Missouri and Peyton graduated from Nebraska Methodist College in July of 2024. Next stop: getting married in October!
