The start of our forever

Ryan and Charlotte first met by invitation of Austin Rising. Austin, who is Charlotte's roommate, had a connection with a local distillery that had recently opened up very inventive tasting room tours, so Austin decided to make it a party! Austin invited 10 friends to the tour and both Charlotte and Ryan made the list. On the night of the event, Charlotte and Ryan were the first two to show up, and the only two other than Austin who arrived on time... Naturally, Charlotte and Ryan hit it off, however, the other guests arrived shortly and the tour then started. It was a lovely night filled with whiskey, where Charlotte gave her unfinished tastings to Ryan because she doesn't actually like whiskey... Austin, Charlotte, and Ryan then shared an uber home when Austin, to Charlotte's dismay, proceeded to pitch why Charlotte is amazing to Ryan. A few months passed and Austin kept mentioning his cool friend Ryan, his amazing cook friend Ryan, his world traveler friend Ryan, his ladder-climbing friend Ryan, to which Charlotte eventually broke down exclaiming "okay set us up already!!" Austin was taken aback, but he did indeed take Ryan out to dinner where he talked with him about his cool, amazing, roommate Charlotte. Austin made sure Ryan knew all of the reasons why he shouldn't date Charlotte, like how Charlotte has a taste for the finer things in life, she is very driven and has been known to be a bulldozer of a personality, how intimidating and put together she is, and that Ryan better not screw up and ruin Austin's positive relationship with his roommate. After Austin's warnings, Ryan was reportedly still interested in being set up with Charlotte, so Austin obliged! Charlotte and Ryan finally had their first date a few months after meeting--the evening started at Japanese BBQ, went on to minigolf, and ended with churros. Needless to say the date went well! On January 18th, let's toast to our forever!
