Christian and Breada were attending a pool party for athletes at the New York Athletic Club - Travers Island. Christian was there with his rugby mates and Breada was with her friends on the lacrosse team. Christian immediately caught Breada's attention with his outfit - he was wearing a speedo with an image from The Notebook on the behind. She thought, "Who is this guy?" Breada was mingling and Christian was well-positioned at the tiki bar. He had ordered all of the girls piña coladas but did not say a word. Quiet, handsome, and so mysterious - Breada was intrigued. Later that fall, Breada and Christian were attending a holiday party at The New York Athletic Club - City House. One of Christian's Australian rugby mates, Toby, dragged Christian across the room for an introduction and said, "Breada, you have to meet my buddy Christian!". Christian immediately clammed up, turned white as a ghost, stuck out a sweaty palm, and muttered, "Hi." - it was actually quite an awkward exchange. Eventually, Christian and Breada exchanged contact information. A few weeks later, Christian asked Breada out on a date at the Park Ave Tavern where this mysterious, quiet man unfolded with his stories about his family and friends. The more Breada learned the more she liked, and they were inseparable shortly after. And then the rest was history!
