The table from Meghan and Trey's first date

Our Story

How We Met

Despite growing up three miles apart in McKinney, Texas, and spending three overlapping years at UT Austin, we somehow never crossed paths. In November 2022, we finally matched on Hinge — but Meghan deleted the app before ever seeing Trey’s message.

Three months later she redownloaded it, spotted the match, and screenshotted his profile to her group chat. Tara (now a bridesmaid) gave the glowing review that sealed it. Our first date was at Times Ten Cellars — we kept ordering food neither of us was hungry for, just so the night wouldn’t end.

The rest, as they say, is history.

The Proposal

Paris, June 2025

After a week and a half traveling through Nice, Barcelona, S’Agaró, and Paris, Trey woke up unusually early on the morning of June 4th — suspiciously out of character. He ironed Meghan’s favorite blue dress without being asked, put on romantic music, announced he’d be wearing a blazer (to go shopping, of all things), and insisted she leave her purse behind. A metro breakdown two stops from their destination had him frantically checking his phone while Meghan quietly thought: “There’s no way he’d carry a ring through the Paris metro... right?”

When they finally emerged from the station, they stepped onto one of the most beautiful bridges in Paris — nearly empty, with a perfect view of the Eiffel Tower. A woman nearby offered to take their photo. The “stranger” turned out to be a photographer Trey had secretly hired. After a few posed shots, he tapped Meghan on the shoulder, took both her hands, and — with tears in his eyes — got down on one knee.

“Meghan Taylor Riddle, will you marry me?”

Obviously, she said yes.
