Colin and I met in 2011 at a concert in Berkeley, CA. But it wasn't just any concert... it was his concert! The band was Skandalism, and they were* awesome. We saw each other briefly as friends over the next few years (I was a big Skandalism fan) but didn't become close until 2016, when I asked him to go see Black Sabbath with me. Although we were technically going as friends, I like to think of this as our first date. After our magical night with Ozzy Osbourne, the progression of our friendship grew quite naturally; we have been hanging out, making music, and going to shows ever since. In fact, we also celebrated our engagement at a concert! Just a few hours before seeing Paul McCartney, Colin asked me to marry him. Needless to say, the tears I shed at the show were not just for Paul (it was like 60% Colin, 40% Paul). *I say "were" because Skandalism is no longer a group. Petition for them to play a reunion show at the wedding is in the works.
