( CNN ) It was closing time . Scott Tayloe marched up to the Starbucks counter in Jacksonville , Florida , and handed the barista a napkin with his number on it . `` Call me sometime , '' he said , hoping his voice hit a cool-guy tone , though he knew in reality it was probably cracking like a schoolgirl 's . Josh Holder looked down at the napkin . Scott was handsome , well-mannered and professional -- just the type of guy he had always envisioned himself with . But he knew he would n't call . A couple years later , Josh was at the Lemon Bar in Jacksonville . A friend of his had met a great guy at a party and thought he 'd be perfect for Josh . She invited both to the bar -- a sort of blind date in the midst of a group hangout . As Josh walked toward the guy , he realized it was the same Starbucks customer whose number he had secretly kept for so long . Scott tried to pretend he did n't remember but eventually cracked . `` Why did n't you call ? '' he asked . Josh explained he had been in a serious relationship at the time . By the end of the night , the two had exchanged phone numbers . For the next week , they spoke on the phone every day for hours . On July 15 , 2004 , they went on their first date . `` I always dreamt I would meet my future husband in line at the grocery store , '' Scott wrote on CNN iReport . `` I would be buying spaghetti , and he would be buying spaghetti sauce . Our eyes would lock and the rest would be history . '' `` I always dreamt I would have a cute story . And I got one . '' The first date was followed by a second , then a third . They rented giant sumo wrestling costumes and battled each other in a friend 's backyard . They went horseback riding on the beach . For their six-month anniversary , they flew down to the Florida Keys . They took a road trip to Salt Lake City and spent months backpacking around Europe . `` It was like one of those crazy romantic movies , '' Josh remembered . `` Nobody does dates like this , but we did them all . '' On July 29 , 2011 , Scott slid a note under Josh 's door while on Cape Cod in Massachusetts : `` Starbucks Boy , will you marry me today ? '' Today , Scott and Josh Tayloe live in Los Angeles with their son , Hayden . They disagree over small things -- movie selection , driving styles , which drawer to put the shorts in -- but agree on all the big things , such as their plan to adopt more children . With this kind of love story , it 's no wonder the couple believes so strongly in fate . One of Josh 's favorite stories is from Plato 's `` Symposium '' : The Greeks believed humans were originally created with four arms and four legs . Fearing their power , Zeus split them in half . `` So you have a perfect match , '' Josh said . `` You just have to find it . ''
