We’re Talia and Dylan — two people who secretly crushed on each other for years during college but never quite found the right time to say it. We were always a little too shy, a little too taken, and the timing was always just... off.

Fast forward to January 2023 — the stars (and tequila) finally aligned. We ran into each other at The Great American Ranch bar, just days before Talia started PA school. One of Talia's friends, Alyssa, spotted Dylan across the bar and pointed him out. With a bold mix of fate and tequila sunrises, Talia stood on her chair and shouted, “DYLAN!” across the crowd. Dylan turned, smiled, said a brief hello, and walked away…for a moment.

After confirming she wasn’t there with another man (and a quick beer for liquid courage), Dylan came back — and bought her another tequila sunrise in exchange for her phone number. We had our first date the very next Friday.

What started as a chance reunion quickly became everything we were waiting for.

And now? We can’t wait to say “I do.”
