Alison and Brian had never thought blues music would bring them together. But with the help of blues, friends, and a little magic, their paths crossed and changed forever on a rainy April night in 2015 at Kingston Mines in Chicago. Alison and Brian both had friends in from out of town that day who wanted to have a "true Chicago" experience. What better than a little blues and some booze! Let us back up a little... The day before they met, Alison was at dinner when she saw an old high school friend (Mimi) from Mexico City who she hadn't seen in 10 years! Mimi and Alison decided to rendezvous a couple nights later at Kingston mines. The two friends went to listen to blues, catch up on 10 years passed, when BOOM! a young man by the name of Brian appeared at their table, dressed to impress in a shirt and tie. He invited himself to join the two-person party and took a seat at their table. Brian's out-of-town college friends had also been the excuse for a late night Thursday outing for him. Before Brian could ask her himself, another man approached Alison and asked her to dance. About 5 seconds later, Brian and Mimi were also on the dance floor to stay close by. Thankfully for Brian, the other guy left for the bar and Brian was able to swoop in and spin Alison around a couple times. As soon as there was a break in the music, Brian told Alison: "My friends and I were leaving when I saw you and I knew I had to talk to you." Brian explained that not having a wing man made approaching two ladies "tricky" (LOL). After conversation and dancing, Alison was shocked and flattered when Brian asked for her number, and then offered to hail her a cab home (no Uber yet). A few weeks later they met and had a ten hour date. The romance has kept building ever since, leading to their engagement two and a half years later in September of 2017, and their wedding with you this coming February!
