When you keep ending up in the same spot and locking eyes with someone, it starts to become obvious that it’s meant to be. A coffee shop is where it all began for Christina and Evan back in college at Furman University. A four-year best...
Tinder has really been killin’ the whole matching game recently for our cutie couples. Clemson University grads, Lindsey and Anthony, matched on Tinder their sophomore year, which led to Anthony sending a message, but a studious Lindsey wasn’t able to reply. Have no fear, for...
You know that love at first sight thing? Well, Mariah and Mark are a few of the lucky ones to meet and instantly know they were meant to be. The pair met online back in 2016 after Mark moved to Northern Virginia to start a...
