It was the great year of 2016. Bridgette and Parker met sometime at a random friend gathering near Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. Throughout the rest of their college careers, the two stayed friends in the same group that they surround themselves with today. It was not until after they had graduated that the two noticed a more-than-friends connection. After that, Parker asked Bridgette out. She said no. She kept saying no until Parker "happened" to have tickets to a Blues playoff game (they later won the Stanley Cup that year). It was not long after that night the two fell in love and became inseparable. They soon were spending time with each other's families, living together, traveling, changing careers, buying a home, adopting a dog, and planning a wedding. One of the biggest things these two have in common is their love for their family and friends. It is because of those people that this couple has such a love for life and each other.
