How We Met

It was the start of the New Year, it was a Sunday and Christina's brother Nicky invited her to play indoor soccer. During warm ups for the game Nicky introduced Christina to his friend Mickey. Once our game was over Mickey invited everyone out for drinks at McIntyers in Toms River (the original one on Rt 37). Nicky declined and Christina said "sure." Here is where Christina met Mickey's friend, Mickey Doyle. This was the start to meeting a long line of Doyle's. Brendan was amongst the many Doyle's she met this night. Brendan had a long, grizzly beard. Christina thought, "he must be a Lumbar Jack, who else has a beard that long." She started looking forward to Sundays, hanging out with the Doyle boys. They were funny and fun. Christina learned how to play pool and throw a good punch or two, mainly at Mickey. It was another normal Sunday that Christina walked into McIntyers and she saw the Doyle gang hanging out around the bar. She said "Hi" to everyone and then she saw someone new, or so she thought he was new. He had a shaved head and a clean shaved face. Christina reintroduced herself to Brendan. She didn't even recognize him without all the hair. From there, their story began. And their first date... well, it's one many would think, will make you laugh, and probably say, that's a Brendy move. Although, he thinks the story is inaccurate....

The Proposal

It was the week before Brendan's birthday. Wilma, Declan, Cullen, and Christina went on a bike ride in Long Beach Island. It was a big bike ride for Declan, he rode his bike a total of a mile (he was 4 at the time). They rode their bikes down to this cute restaurant, Tuckers, by a doc with a Pirate ship. It was very exciting. Christina thought Tuckers would be a great place to take Brendan for birthday drinks. After a week, it was Brendan's birthday, they had birthday dinner and cake with family and then went out for birthday drinks to Tuckers. They sat at a high top bar, listened to the band play, and had a great time hanging out. Christina had already told Brendan the story about Declan riding his bike all the way to the Pirate ship. When the restaurant closed, Christina and Brendan took a walk down to the Pirate Ship. Once they got there, Christina said well this is it! The two of them talked for a few minutes and then decided to head back. As Christina went to turn to walk back, Brendan grabbed her hand and brought her in for a long hug. He intertwined their hands as they hugged. As Christina went to pull away, Brendan kept their hands intertwined. Christina was wondering what he was doing. It was then, that she saw the ring and he was trying to slip it on to her finger. He then grabbed Christina's hand and said, "Christina Marie Carrozza, will you do me the honor of making me one happy man again, will you marry me." Of course, she said "yes and finally!" When they got home that night, George and Nessy were already waiting with a bottle a champagne ready to celebrate.
