Once Upon A Time... Sydney drew the short straw and had to pick her brother, Daniel, up from his church’s summer camp. An eager Daniel wanted to introduce her to his camp counselor David, who was tall, blonde and handsome. The parking lot must have been dark because Sydney was too grumpy with the Daniel’s late arrival to give David more than a quick hello. They parted ways, but because of this quick introduction, Daniel will forever claim the credit of introducing Sydney and David. 2 years Later... Ethan Maughan, the Best Man, proved better than any dating app when he realized two of his best friends were pretty similar. Both were college athletes, lived in Michigan, single, and over 6’0. The MVP matchmaker linked up Sydney and David (who both had no memory of meeting before). Within days texting turned into talking on the phone for hours on length. When they returned home to Illinois for winter break, they immediately went on a date to Portillos where nothing but good things happen. #CakeShakes

After two and a half years of dating, David learned two things about his girlfriend’s family: they are big on breakfast food and tea. So he fit in these two loves into his proposal plan at Burnt Toast, Sydney’s favorite brunch spot. On the morning of her graduation party, David took her out to breakfast, and after a round of pancakes, asked Sydney if she wanted tea. In a shocking turn of events Sydney said no (which had literally never happened before). Luckily, she didn’t see David quietly panicking across the booth until the waiter showed up, not with a check, but with "Mr."and "Mrs?" mugs. The elderly Burnt Toast patrons cheered and leaned in to watch the show, as David got down on one knee. Now Sydney will always have an excuse to say yes to tea...just in case he has any more fun proposals planned in their future married life!
