In September of 2013, just a few weeks into their first year at UVM, Pat noticed Brennan across the Harris-Millis Dining Hall—so romantic! He remembered her some days later when she joined him and a mutual friend in the amphitheater, where they were introduced for the first time (thanks, Ellie!). They made plans along with their new group of friends to go to Red Rocks. As the group filed onto the city bus to get there, the driver stopped Pat and Brennan from getting on—the bus was full. They decided they would walk to Red Rocks and meet their friends there. On what they now consider their first date, they walked for two and a half hours discussing topics including their families, friends, high school sports, hobbies, and the fact that it was Talk Like a Pirate Day. Discovering they shared many values and interests, these landlubbers made it official a few days later. Pat and Brennan hope that you will be able to join them in celebrating ten years of life together and the start of their marriage.
