It all started at Campus Pizza... Brendan: "Like many college sweethearts, our story started out at a divey pizza bar just off campus. Our college was small, so we knew of each other, but never seemed to cross paths or be in the same place at the same time. Finally, one night at the aforementioned bar, my roommate grabbed me and Catrina's roommate grabbed her. They threw us together and simply said 'talk.' We hit it off instantly and everything changed." Catrina: "Cue our next big relationship test: long distance. I was editing books in New York while Brendan was analyzing stocks in Chicago. It wasn't easy, but it was worth it. Two years later, Brendan booked a one-way flight to the East Coast and the rest is history. He proposed on February 23, 2020 on the beach in Florida and it was perfect."
