Our Story

It All Started Online

In the post-covid, dating app age, a single Caroline and Ryan took to swiping on Hinge, the app that boasts its ultimate mission is to be deleted. While Ryan doesn't remember what Caroline's profile looked like, Caroline is not ashamed to admit that in addition to thinking Ryan was cute, his love of his Jeep Wrangler also sparked her initial intrigue. After over a month of texting, they met for their first date at White Duck Taco Shop. After another month of going out, they hit the road, and the rest....is history.
