Brooke was looking for a new pair of shoes when she first met Christian. Christian was working at Target at the time and was walking around with a cart of returns. Brooke (in Brooke fashion) said to Christian "Excuse me, can I check your cart to see if there are any shoes in there I like?" Christian (in Christian fashion) said "Uh, sure!" Christian and Brooke proceeded to talk, as Brooke asked Christian about 100 questions and got his whole life story. Luckily by the end of the conversation, Christian asked Brooke for her phone number. They always felt they were destined to meet and the rest was history!
Brooke had just gotten off work and was headed to her Dad's house to meet Christian for what she thought was going to be a date night. Brooke proceeded to walk into the house where she found roses and a note that said "Come outside". When Brooke walked outside, all of Brooke and Christians's friends and family were there, and Christian was holding their dog, Cody, with a sign around his neck that said "I loved her first". Christian then got on one knee and popped the question in front of everyone! Christian and Brooke spent the night celebrating. The next morning, Christian had also planned a brunch for both families to celebrate together. It was truly the best weekend of their lives, thus far.
