…It was 3000 B.C. when two people crossed paths for the first time, forever intertwining their lives and committing to spend eternity loving the other. Flash forward to 2013, Brynn and I are introduced for the first time (in this lifetime), requiring another 8 introductions over 5 years to truly lock eyes. According to Brynn, she was actively applying for jobs across the country while I had decided earlier that day to fully accept a lifetime as a single man with my pup, Bella. It all happened at Benchtop Brewery in Norfolk, VA, March 8th, 2018, on trivia night. Brynn and her roommate, Christian, walked into Benchtop and as Christian grabbed a table, Brynn and I noticed each other, and like every other time meeting, said hi and engaged in the most uncomfortable small talk we had repeated every other time we had run into each other in the past. This time, something was different. I invited Brynn and Christian to join our humble trivia team and obviously smitten with how strikingly handsome I am, how could Brynn possibly turn down that invitation? Two hours later, our trivia team was tied for first and entering a final round to win it all. After the final question was asked and we all brainstormed an answer, I announced that I knew it – pretty sure I actually said, “I got this.” Of course, I didn’t, we lost, but in all the excitement of the night, I asked Brynn for her number and we had our first official date at Hoyt’s Luncheonette the next day. Within a month we were in love and by summer we had moved in together. Our lives are forever changed for the better thanks to that night at Benchtop.
