The story of Caitlin and Farley does not begin with a single meet cute, but three. Meet Cute 1: The first, like most love stories, is set at a beer pong table. It was Sophomore year at UCSB and Farley was in his garage playing beer pong. His opponent, a very rowdy, competitive and aggressive brunette by the name of Caitlin. Many insults, shoves, and games later, Caitlin took her win and a budding “interest” was sparked in Farley. But as college goes, before Farley could act Caitlin had left the party, not to be seen again for nearly 2 years. Meet Cute 2: The setting, Senior year at a terrible bar called The Study Hall. The two randomly bump into each other and start up a conversation. A bit older and a bit wiser, they were smart enough to exchange numbers. "Caitlin Foster" was typed into Farley’s phone and "Farlwy Cooonely" into Caitlin’s. I did mention they were at a bar, right? The two were clicking. Sparks were flying. Could this be their moment????......Nope. Caitlin ran off and wasn't seen again for another 2 years. Meet Cute 3: For their third and final meet cute, the two find themselves at a trivia night in San Francisco. Farley was excited to show off his random knowledge to the rowdy brunette he met some 6 years ago while Caitlin was falling deeply and madly in love with Farley's dog Puddy, who conveniently chose Caitlin's feet as his preferred head rest. Fast forward 4 months through many platonic and awkward “friend filled” dates, a Renoir family thanksgiving with Puddy - Caitlin’s “friend's dog," and a two-week slumber party with psycho kitty, aka “Oliver” at Farley’s North Beach micro-apartment, the once pong competitors meet cute finally ends.

As we all know, Caitlin and Farley love their games. Despite the rain and freezing day, a few excuses and pushing, Farley finally convinced Caitlin to go down to the creek to their usual spot for a game of cards. After aimlessly wandering, Farley finally picked a spot, shuffled the deck of cards and dealt Caitlin her hand. When she turned them over, "Will You" "Marry Me" was written across every single card.
