Shortly after graduating and moving back to Austin, Mackenzie visited the young adults ministry at a local church that met on Tuesday nights. On this particular night the group was serving tacos prior to the worship service. Although Brennan and his group of friends were regulars in the group, he will admit the tacos were particularly what motivated him to attend worship that week. After meeting at church, the two quickly hit it off. Coincidentally, there was also a noticeable increase in Brennan's weekly attendance of Tuesday night worship (as well as his frequency of wearing pants as opposed to shorts). Before too long they were staying for hours after church, talking in the parking lot and getting to know one another. They began dating that fall and have been inseparable ever since.
