August 2014. Austin and Brittany found themselves attending East Tennessee State University as graduate students. Their love of history was mutual, to say the least; but, their historical interests led them to different paths. They, along with some other students in the History Department, would meet up at Knights for pizza nearly every week. October 2014. Brittany spied an independent study focusing on Sherlock Holmes for the next semester and convinced the professor, Austin, and Andrew to let her join the class. January 2015. Austin and Brittany began their second semester and a friendship soon surfaced from that Sherlock Holmes class. Holmes would have deduced the outcome before the friendship even happened, and Watson would have been astounded to witness the unfolding events. April 2015. Austin asked Brittany to spend more time with him, and eventually on a date that would lead to an official relationship a few days later. July 2015. Brittany found herself accompanying Austin to London, where they took time to visit Baker Street and the home of that famous detective duo.

May 2016. By then, Austin graduated from the history program. (Brittany had to take an additional semester of classes before she could graduate.) August 2016. Austin began his law degree at Rutgers University at Newark, NJ. (Brittany occupied herself with the last semester of graduate school.) September 2017. Up to that point, Brittany visited Austin every month and had several different jobs. She landed a pharmacy technician job that September, continued visiting him monthly, and sat savings goals to move to New Jersey. May 2019. Austin graduated with his law degree, and they had saved up enough for Brittany to join him in New Jersey. July 2019. Austin and Brittany moved to Parsippany, NJ.

July 2019. Austin took his bar exam at the end of the month. He passed this massive exam, though he wouldn't find out the results until October. August 2019. Wouldn't you know it? Austin took a bar trip to London just a few days after his exam and took Brittany with him. He also had planned multiple adventures that would fill their week-long vacation. Also, jet lag is not something to laugh at - Austin and Brittany would be grumpy and naps would ensue. August 7th. That Wednesday was the second full day in London. Austin had bought tickets for them to attend The Proms, a beautiful musical event, and a pre-show dinner. Brittany knew about these plans, but she was not aware of his additional plan. After getting ready, they headed to Royal Albert Hall - the location of The Proms. As they walked through Hyde Park, Austin pulled out a gorgeous sapphire ring. A stunned Brittany happily accepted. No, Austin didn't kneel - it had been raining and they had a formal event to attend. Yes, Brittany may have forgotten to say "yes" at first and instead took the ring and box out of his hand. They do have quite a Holmes-and-Watson bond, after all.
