Garrett's birthday, 2016: The two met up after running around town. Without knowing it, both were searching for each other. After missing connections for a bit beforehand, they finally decided to meet up (Ariel wanted to buy Garrett a birthday drink), and enjoyed their first time out together. After several exchanges, Ariel finally gave into Garrett's requests for a "date", and happenstance brought them together on a night where Ariel had free tickets to see a comedy show. They'd been in one another's company a few times previous, but never really had romantic intentions until now-- until that fateful day. Later, in June, Garrett worked up the courage to ask Ariel to be his in his heart, to "go steady", to be exclusive, to ask if they could love each other. Ariel happily obliged with the classic, "I thought you'd never ask." Since, the two have lived together, adopted two sweet, angelic pups, shared music, art, passions, fears, strengths, weaknesses, and most importantly, love. They want you to join them in celebrating the first chapter of the rest of their story. The prologue has been fun, and now the real tale begins on October 31, 2018, with the wedding of two people crazy about each other.
