They met when their mutual friends, Colin and Amanda invited Heather over to Neal's house for a Memorial day cookout and to watch the US soccer game. She could not look at him for more than a few seconds without blushing all while he was burning hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill. A week later they all went to a Orioles game which Neal considers the first date ( Heather did not). A few days after that was their friend Amanda's birthday. They ended up spending most of the night talking and laughing. Finally having their first real, just the two of them, date a week later. Here they are 6 years still in love and burning hot dogs.
