We were both invited to our friend's (my best man's) 21st birthday party at Black Sheep Pizza. I had ordered chocolate milk with my pizza (which apparently is a weird thing to order with pizza) and Justine mocked me ruthlessly and I made fun of her for her love of the Green Bay Packers. I remember after an evening of playful mockery, we all separated for the night, and I thought to myself as I watched Justine leave that I had never had such an immediate connection with someone before.
Brennen took me to the lake where we had the second half of our first date. I assumed we were going to walk around or drive around, like we did on March 17th, 2018, but instead he pulled over, parked, and said, "my watch is in the glove compartment, can you grab it?" I didn't think anything of it, even though it was kind of weird, and out fell the ring box and an adipose from Doctor Who! Brennen said some really sweet words, I cried, screamed, said yes, cried some more, said yes again, and the rest is history.
