This love starts how all great love stories do…at The Loft. A place where you go for a classy night out of dancing and spirits. Or in this case, the place you go to meet your soulmate. The night began with Callie spending the evening with friends, and Perry taking a rare Friday night off. At some point in the night Callie decided to sneak off for an few minutes of dancing, and while dancing she spotted a cute boy across the dancefloor wearing a Boston Red Sox hat. Being a true New Yorker she walked right up to him and stated, “EW I hate the Red Sox!”. Perry laughed it off, reminded her that unlike the Sox, the Yankees were not in playoffs. After some trash talk, Callie returned to dancing. When leaving, who did she happen to pass on the way out, Perry. Callie asked for his phone, put her number in and told him to text her sometime. She thought this was the last of him, but she was wrong. What followed was 3.5months of texting , Perry did suggest meeting up a few times but there was a problem…SHE DIDN’T KNOW HIS NAME! So she avoided the topic, until finally she agreed. When the time finally came, hellos were exchanged and Callie faced the music stated, “I have a confession, I have no idea what your name is”. In her defense she did save him as “Cute Sox Boy” in her phone. What followed that first date was finally getting to know each other on a first name basis. The next 4.5yrs were filled with been countless tailgates, concerts, job changes, ER visits (FYI beware of champagne bottles), oven fires, dad jokes, random wrestling moves, marathons, bad dance moves, good dance moves, puns, laughter and SO MUCH LOVE. And on June 24, 2019 sitting together on Sand Beach in beautiful Acadia National Park , Perry observed that they did well on there hike together (there may or may not have been a fist bump in there) and then asked the big question, “You want to hike through life together?”, which of course Callie said YES!
