As told by Sarah Hatton (Really lucky friend and former roommate of Brittany) : As is only fitting, this story starts with soccer. It is absolutely impossible to quantify the number of times that we complained about soccer. All through college at Temple University, for four years, we’d wake up in the morning devastated that it was time for 6:00 AM conditioning, followed by a day full of classes, followed by, you guessed it…more soccer. After all of this, soccer owed us. And in the end I can’t help but laugh knowing it was in fact that which we complained about most, that brought Brittany to her soul mate Sebastien….you guessed it… soccer. Once upon a time in Berwyn, the Berkert Family struck childcare gold with Brittany as their nanny, and Seba as their son’s soccer trainer. It seemed like a stroke of luck or fate that Sebastien (who is kind of good at soccer), agreed to join the YSC Co-Ed rec team that Brittany (who is also kind of good at soccer) was playing on, after receiving an invitation onto the team from the Burkerts. In what turned out to be the greatest accomplishment of Sebastien’s soccer career… they became the 2020 YSC Champions and without yet knowing it, he met the love of his life, Brittany. It goes without saying, the Burkert’s were the real champions for this set up. This wouldn’t be a Brit and Seba story if it didn’t involve good drinks and great travel. After post-game drinks, a brewery tour, and talks of dream trips…Seba, Brittany, and some friends made their way to none other than France. (If you’re wondering if Jimmers or Patty knew a thing about Brittany taking a European vacation with the potential love of her life…it’s a no.) The low key love continued through countries and COVID until the deal was finally sealed with crushes...orange crushes that is. Seba worked his way into Brittany and the Wollner’s hearts through their livers, and showed up to the family beach house with the ingredients to Orange Crush cocktails. The rest is history. (He also brought peppermint patties and flowers but, if you know the Wollner’s, you know what sealed the deal here for everyone.) Brittany and Sebastien were excited to start their relationship with a chip on their shoulder about their best kept secret…each other. But, never count out Jimmers, who had google working for him all along. (It turns out Sebastien Le Toux is an uncommon name.) I always joke that everything Sebastien touches turns to gold. I’ve watched him win everything from MLS games, to board games, to obscure and/or made up beach games. But in my opinion, this is the best win of his life…and Brittany was gold all along. I’m so excited that this match made in Berwyn met and I can not wait for 10/6/23.
