On July 1st, 2017 Sammy had her first ever bartending shift at Buffalo Wild Wings. Brennan and his friends came in to have some drinks and Sammy thought "Hey, cute boys! Let's make some tips!" A couple months later, he came back in to celebrate a coworker's birthday and they got to talking - about everything. Sammy wanted to see him again, but he left and she never got his phone number. On December 16th, 2017 Brennan was back at Buffalo Wild Wings with some friends to watch a Wild game. He finished his lunch with friends at a table and brought his to-go box and drink to the last open spot at Sammy's bar rail. Sammy knew if she didn't get his phone number, she'd regret it forever. They met at Caspers in Eagan that night and talked in a booth for FIVE hours. That was the beginning of forever.

Brennan and Sammy first went ring shopping in October 2020 - Brennan asked about ring size and Sammy had no idea. In November they went back and Sammy tried on a ring that instantly brought tears. It was the one! Since the pandemic was still causing things to be closed, Brennan didn't think it was the right time to get married. Brennan wanted a place they could call their own before proposing and had planned it for the Winter Carnival 2022. Since Sammy had suspicions, plans changed when another opportunity presented itself - Sammy's dream proposal. On a trip to Florida in April 2022, Brennan used Cinderella's Castle at Walt Disney World to his advantage as the perfect backdrop. After a busy day at the parks, Sammy and Brennan were getting pictures taken to end the night and Brennan said, "There's one more thing we have to do today." He started reaching into his pocket and Sammy knew, 'this was it'. Brennan got down on one knee in Sammy's favorite place and asked her to spend the rest of her life with him. She said yes without hesitation in front of hundreds of strangers at the Most Magical Place on Earth. Cheers to Sammy and Brennan and here's to the rest of their lives together!
