Our love story started in a quaint little eatery that some like to call the dirty bird...that's right, we met while working at none other than Red Robin. Dan started as a busboy when I had just moved up to being a server. He was a terrible busboy. He was slow and didn't make my job any easier...needless to say I had zero interest in speaking to him at first. If you have met Dan you know he is a pretty friendly guy, so as we worked together a few days a week we got to talking and I got to learn more about him. The dirty birds (restaurant staff) all went out as a group one night where we had the time to hang out and become better friends. Fast forward a few months later...we were both pretty hesitant to admit that we were in a relationship (boyfriend/girlfriend is a strong word, right?), and had both met each other's families before we made it official at an Oriole's game on April 11, 2015.
For my 28th birthday I wanted to go axe throwing at Urban Axes in Baltimore. 2020 was a tough year for everyone and I wanted to do something fun with a group of friends for my birthday in 2021. It was a perfect opportunity for Dan to propose because I planned the whole thing and had NO idea what he was up to! We were in the middle of the axe throwing tournament when I came back to my drink and there was a slate coaster made by Dan that said "Will You Marry Me?" on it. I was SO surprised!!
