Cory and Reilly´s story began in 2018 through online dating. Despite being states apart, they started talking online. Months later they decided to go on their first date when Reilly moved back to Texas.

However, their first date was far from smooth. The date started off rocky when Cory asked Reilly if she planned to get a salad for dinner. While he did not mean this as a jab and was genuinely just curious, his lack of awareness remains a hilarious anecdote to tell to this day.

While Cory was not the smoothest talker, his southern charm drew Reilly in. For years, Reilly had always wanted to find herself a cowboy, however the last place she thought to look was the internet. With the stigmas around online dating and horror stories told through friends, online dating seemed like an unlikely method of meeting your soulmate but nevertheless Reilly & Cory found each other.

Through thick and thin- despite Reilly leaving her socks on the floor and Cory telling his dorky dad jokes, they continue to choose each other every day. Then on August 20th, 2022 Cory got down on one knee and asked Reilly if she would want to be a rancher´s wife forever and marry him, with tears in her eyes Reilly said yes. It was a very special moment they got to share with their closest friends and family.
