What happens with parents act as matchmakers? #LoveInTheBOI. Meet Kortney and Teddy. This is their love story
How did you two meet?
I (Kortney) was living in Provo Utah living my life, I was really focused on my career and didn’t put much effort into dating. little did I know my mom was playing match maker! Teddy is originally from Middleton Idaho, he was attending college in Rexburg at the time. My mom who works at Costco was helping one of the members( Teddy’s dad) with his membership card. They started talking about how great their children are, like every proud parent, they exchanged our numbers, ig handles, and pictures! my mom called me and told me I needed to add the guy on IG, meanwhile Teddy’s dad was telling him he needs to take me on a date. Teddy at first wasn’t convinced he should take me on a date. I added him on IG, within hours I received a dm from Teddy. We have talked everyday since then. Teddy moved back to Middleton while I was still living in Utah, he would come visit me almost every weekend a few months into date I just knew he was the one! I moved to Idaho and a year later we are engaged!!!!
Describe Your First Date
Oh man!! Our first date was at the amusement park Lagoon in Utah! My very first time meeting Teddy in person he took me to Lagoon with one of his married friends and their brothers! Me being the only person who knew nobody and barely Teddy, I was going an hour and 30 mins away from my home to an amusement park! I was beyond nervous! Many thoughts were going through head like, what if he doesn't like me? what if I throw up? ya know girls can overthink. Well within the first five mins of our date I felt like i have known teddy my whole life. We screamed at the top of our lungs, laughed until we couldn't hold our cheeks up any longer. I didn't want the night to end!
What are you favorite local things to do & places to go?
We love trying new restaurants in the area, riding bikes on the green belt, paddle boarding and exploring different areas of Idaho!
What is one word of advice you have to those who are still in search of love?
Love comes when you least expect it!! Love your life and who you are and when your person comes into your life it will that much more amazing!!
