From Oktoberfest to Marriage

CHARLOTTE'S VERSION: The summer in between sophomore and junior year at Bowdoin, I interned on the hill with Oscar's best friend Kent. As Lizzy, Kent and I planned our Oktoberfest trip for our abroad term, Kent kept saying his friend Oscar would like to come. Not knowing who that was, I obliged. Fast forward a couple months, Oscar and I met over a few beers, pretzels and the best chicken ever in Munich. While on an Oktoberfest ride, Oscar grabbed my hand and the rest was history. Well not really...we didn't talk for the rest of the semester, besides a Facebook friend request from Oscar. But once we were back at Bowdoin things started where they left off, on the other side of the pond. After life in Portland, New York City and Durham, Oscar popped the question a little over 9 years after our first kiss. OSCAR'S VERSION (Obviously much shorter): Kent and I decided to meet up at Oktoberfest and bring some friends. We both knew Lizzy, but he told me I would really like this girl Charlotte. I probably just nodded and said cool. A few months and pints (aka liters) later all I remember saying is "I like this girl".
