There's Goin' To Be A Wedding

We met on a warm summer night in downtown Racine, the year was 2012. I was a college student and tending bar at Pepi's Pub and Grill at the time. This very tall and very handsome guy walks in to have a drink before continuing on home. This guy caught my eye but I didn't think much more of him at that moment. I served him a drink and convinced him to try the food, there was pleasant conversation and lots of laughter. This guy is funny! After that first meeting Brett would continue to come in regularly, eat the food, have a few drinks, play pool and chat up the owner. If anyone knows, Brett can talk to just about anyone and connect instantly. Finally, one night he got the courage to leave his number on the back of his receipt with the words "call me maybe" underneath - the top hit pop song of that year. I didn't call. He came back and finally asked me out to dinner and a movie. Since that night we have never let each other go. Thanks universe!

It was mid October and we flew out to Palm Springs California with our good friend Tim and my brother. We were having a blast soaking up the sun and basking in the heat. On the third day we all took a trip and an aerial tramway up the tallest mountain, San Jacinto. Some of the most beautiful views I have ever seen. As we are on the top at the best look out point, I'm trying to take a panoramic for the first time. Brett is suddenly down on his knee and I am clueless to what is happening. Next thing I know I am crying from pure happiness and there is a beautiful ring sitting upon my finger, the crowd is cheering. Every one knew except me and it was so incredibly special. We can't wait to start this next chapter in our lives.
