Story

Kyle and Riley met 6 years ago Country Dancing at Southworth Hall with Kyle saying, "Hey! Good to meet you! I'll never see you again because I'm moving to Salt Lake City!" To which Riley responded, "Well that is where I live, so maybe we should come back down here together!" Later that night they shared their first kiss due to one smooth pickup line; which, begs the question, can you kiss someone without touching them? If you can it might be worth a whole dollar.

They started carpooling to dancing together. It’s not surprising that when they spent 2 hours in a car together three nights a week they became best friends. Soon they were teaching swing and line dance classes together. Everyone just assumed they were dating, so after 5 years they decided, "Eh? Why not?"

So he taught her to cook, get places on time, and fold a fitted sheet. And she taught him to drive fast, to be okay with showing up late, and a more "efficient" way to fold a fitted sheet.

With all the important stuff pretty much done in life, they decided to do the small stuff, like buy a house, start a business, get married, and raise a family. It's turned out pretty good so far.
