Our story begins with a nudge from a friend and a very important package.

On July 11, 2022, we officially met at the UPS customer counter—yes, really! Caroline’s friend, Erin Jorge, had been shipping packages there regularly and couldn’t help but notice Wyatt behind the counter. She had a gut feeling that he and Caroline were meant to meet. Erin asked Wyatt if he was seeing anyone (making sure he knew it wasn’t for her!), and even tested him by asking if he called Summertown, “Scummertown.” When Wyatt passed that test with flying colors, Erin told Caroline she had a guy she needed to meet.

Caroline had two options: go on a blind date or bring a package to UPS and meet him “casually.” She chose the package route—less awkward if things didn’t go well, right?

When Caroline arrived at UPS, nerves were high, and the line was long. Finally,when she got to the counter, she asked, “Are you Wyatt?” He smiled and said, “You must be Caroline.” She handed him the cash for the package… and learned UPS doesn’t take cash. Oops! Her purse—and her card—were in the car. So, she walked back out, got her card, and stood in that long line again.

While waiting, Caroline nervously debated: Should I give him my number? Do I have a pen? What do I even say?

When she reached the counter the second time, she handed Wyatt her card, and when he handed her the receipt, he had written his number on it. What Caroline didn’t know was that Wyatt was so nervous, he worried he might have written down his dad’s number by mistake. All shift long, he wondered: What if she texts my dad? Or what if she doesn’t text at all?

But he had written the right number. And that night, he texted her.

And the rest, as they say, is history.
