One Saturday morning, I (Alli) decided to head to our mutual friend's house for a fun morning of watching the World Cup and baking bread. We decided our afternoon activity would be attending the International beer festival at the Seattle Center. Minutes before hopping in an Uber to go to the festival, Dan had a great idea to invite his friend, Brice, to join us for the afternoon. I (Brice) was taking a casual Saturday afternoon nap when I got a call from Dan. Beer, sunshine, and a potential introduction to a lady friend Sign me up! We met and shared our passion for IPAs and then Brice had a great idea to go on a boat ride on Lake Washington after the festival. We then proceeded to have one of the best nights on the water surrounded by friends, which concluded with an epic midnight brunch and a fire at Alli's place. The next day, Brice asked everyone from the day before to join him on the boat again and only Alli said yes. Days following Brice invited Alli to join him to a Mud-Golf game out at his family's cabin. From that weekend on, we knew that we had not only found a new best friend in each other but a lifelong adventure partner.

Alli had been dropping hints for a while, and little did she know it was already on Brice's mind. Christmas is a big deal in both our families so Brice felt it was a perfect time to pop the question. He sneakily got the whole family involved and got down on one knee on Christmas Eve 2020. A great way to end one of the weirdest years on record.
