We love telling this story. So my sister, Alex, and Brittany's best friend, Jessi, used to work together in Indianapolis. When Brittany was moving to Wabash back in January 2017, Jessi told Alex, to which Alex offered me up (without asking) to show Brittany "the sights" around a town of 10,000. I showed her around town on a cold January day, showing her my favorite watering hole (Harry's), the newspaper where I worked at the time, bars to avoid, best parks and even Hanna Park (named after Wabash's founder, Hugh Hanna, but I tried to convince her that it was our way of welcoming her to the community). The following weekend, I was walking with one of my good friends, Brandon, around downtown Wabash before we went to a show at the Honeywell Center. As we were walking down the sidewalk, we almost literally bumped into Brittany and her other best friend Trisha, as we each rounded the corner. I heard Brittany telling Trisha about Harry's. "Hey, Harry's!" I said. We agreed to grab dinner that night at Harry's for some good beer and barbecue and it was there where I couldn't keep my eyes off of Brittany. After saying our goodbyes, Brandon and I attended the show and when it was done, I couldn't help but ask Brittany what she and Trisha were up to. I met up with them at Charley Creek Inn for some drinks late that night and found out that we all loved the TV show "Friends." That led to Brittany and I, eventually, watching the show at her apartment, bonding over pizza and, eventually, our first kiss on her apartment's couch, the same couch that Brittany sat on at the Honeywell House when I proposed in October. From there, it's been Pacers games, trips to Two EEs winery, a trip to Green Bay to root on the Packers, meeting each other's family and friends, picking out the perfect engagement ring, Brittany buying a house, us picking out names for our future children and everything else that's given me no choice but to fall in love with this quirky, beautiful, blonde girl.
