As most Millennials do, Brett and Lauren met online. After a few days of texting, they agreed to meet at BackBar in Somerville for a first date. Lauren gave her good friend Sarah the location of the bar and a photo of Brett, just in case. When Lauren got to Backbar, she called Brett and made him walk out of the bar to get her. The bar was located down an alley street between two restaurants near the back. Totally sketchy. Lauren told Sarah she would only be an hour, thinking Brett would not be very interested. Well, 3 hours later, deep into conversation and both on their third drink, Lauren looked at her phone that is always on "do not disturb". She missed 27 phone calls and 46 texts from Sarah saying she was going to call 911 as she thought Brett kidnapped her. Their first date ended well and the two agreed to meet up again next week for a second date. For their second date, they met at Assembly Row to go see Guardians of the Galaxy 2. It was downpour rain that evening, but that didn't stop them from rushing around the plaza to get a drink at River Bar before their late night showing. A week later, on Father's Day, Lauren was packing for a family vacation to California. The two were texting back and forth throughout the night until they decided to meet up on a whim. Brett met Lauren in Winthrop and they drove over to Deer Island to simply sit down and view Boston under a starry sky. As the conversation dragged, Brett asked Lauren to be his girlfriend and the two shared their first kiss. And the rest is history.
