Dennis was in California. Amy was in Chicago. They each happened to be on the Game of Thrones subreddit at the same time, and started chatting. Amy distinctly remembers that she thought she would probably never talk to Dennis again after that night, when Dennis typed to her 'Will you be on tomorrow night?' Since then they never went one single day without talking to each other and making each other smile.

Dennis and Amy were long distance for the first two and a half years of their relationship. In that time, Dennis moved to Utah, Amy studied abroad in Paris, and they both missed each other every day. They would go through all odds to be able to talk, from texting to facetiming, to waking up early and staying up late, to stealing neighbors' wifi just to get the chance to be in contact. They met multiple times in person during that time period, and each time it was beautiful and bittersweet, being able to physically be with the person you love the most but knowing you'd have to leave once again.

After being painfully long distance for so long, Dennis and Amy finally had a plan. Dennis would fly out to Chicago for Amy's college graduation from IIT, they would fly back to Utah together where Dennis would put in his two weeks at his job, and they would rent a truck and move Dennis across the country to Chicago. They packed up all of Dennis's belongings into a Penske truck and set out on the road through the deserts of southern Utah. They passed through every kind of terrain, made their own granola bars for sustenance, a bird hit the windshield and scared the crap out of them, and they finally made it all the way back to Chicago in one piece. It was the official beginning of their lives together, and they soon after moved into their first apartment in Ravenswood.

Dennis and Amy have been living together ever since, and they couldn't be happier. They have lovely pet fish, they watch TV and eat a lot of pizza together, and they both work at Empirical brewery, Dennis as a cook in the brew pub kitchen, and Amy as events coordinator and bar manager of the taproom. They mess with each other incessantly and fall deeper in love every day. They can't wait to celebrate their lives and love with all of their family and friends and drink delicious beer all night. The road wasn't easy, but they'd do it all over again to find each other.
