We met at Ron's Place in Hunitngburg, if you don't know it's a local bar! From Brendan's point of view he told his friend Chris Swinghammer how pretty Kate was. So his friend got a bright idea! Kate was playing pool with her cousin when she heared this man yell across the bar saying "Hey you!". Kate looked around wondering who this crazy man was yelling at. Kate pointed to herself and realized that he was yelling at her. So she walked over wondering what the deal was. Before she could speak Chris said" This is my friend Brendan and he would like to buy you a drink." Kate respond with "Hi I’m Kateland and I can buy my own drink." They ended up chat at the bar the rest of the night till one of his friends came up and said they were going swimming and Kate asked if she could join. Brendan said yes so we ended up going swimming at the Buschkoetter boys lake. That night was and will always a night yo remember. It was getting late so everyone all just stayed at Brendans apartment and the next morning Brendan took Kate home. Kate looked rough the next moring hair was frizzy and makeup a mess and Brendan looked at Kate an told her "You looked beautiful". That is when Kate knew he was the one!
We went on a family vacation to Panama City Beach, Florida. When we got to Florida we stayed at a beach house right on the beach. The next day we spent it on the beach spending time together with family taking pictures. That night we had dinner and watched a little tv. Brendan had mention going to the pier so we all agreed to go. We were about to leave and Brendan goes I have to run back upstairs to get my phone. So we all went out to the car and waited for him. Once he finally came out, we headed to the pier. When we got there it was already dark but we still walked the pier. It was a perfect night, in the distance there was heat lighting. When we looked back at the beach, you could see all the light and the faireswheel all lit up. We took a few pictures and was looking over the edge. Brendan was hugging me and I looked at him and said "Your heart is racing. It's just water you don't need to be so scared!" He replied "That's not what I'm nervous about." I said "Then why is you heart racing?" He said "Because of this!" That is when he got down on one knee and proposed. He was saying something sweet while crying and I couldn't understand what he was saying because I was crying too. I immediately said "YES!" After we got ice cream and walked the strip for a while. Then we head back to the house and I couldn't wait to tell everyone. Needless to say it was the most perfect propose!
