Our story began in June 2022. Kaylee was living in San Antonio, TX, and about a year into nursing school. One Saturday night, Kaylee’s nursing school friends made plans to go out and invited her along. Initially, she declined, as she was in the middle of packing for a family vacation. But after some convincing, Kaylee paused her packing and decided to join her friends for a night out.

That same Saturday night, Mathew was celebrating Father’s Day at his dad’s house with his siblings. Mathew received a call from his friends, inviting him and his siblings to join them for a night out. Tired and not feeling ready, Mathew declined. However, his sister, Miranda, was eager to go out and persuaded Mathew to join.

Mathew arrived at a bar in San Antonio called Coco Beach, where his friends were already seated. As he approached the table, he immediately noticed someone he hadn’t met before—Kaylee. He ordered a bucket of beer for the table while waiting for his siblings, and later learned that buying that first round made a great impression on Kaylee.

Mathew thought Kaylee was gorgeous and couldn’t understand why his friends had never mentioned her before. Despite his interest, Mathew decided that night not to pursue Kaylee, fearing rejection. But his friends encouraged him to make a move, insisting that Kaylee was into him. Unbeknownst to Mathew, Kaylee hadn’t actually mentioned any interest to his friends!

That night, Kaylee and Mathew ended up spending the whole evening getting to know each other. Little did they know, they had just met the person they would spend the rest of their life with.
