In 2015 Cassie moved from Portland to Forest Grove for graduate school at Pacific University. She had been in love with Portland but moved to be closer to school, if only for a year. Cassie remembers telling her dad "I better find the man of my dreams out here". Well... About a month into school Cassie entered her usual homework spot (King's Head) to find the bartender closing early. She asked "Where am I supposed to do homework and have a beer??" (her secret to grad school success ;)) He told her "Go down to Waltz!" She begrudgingly agreed to try out the small tap room, even though it looked a little rough from the outside. To her surprise, Cassie walked in to see the most handsome beertender she'd ever laid eyes on standing behind the bar, and that doubled when he introduced himself as the brewmaster! She was smitten. Cassie continued going to Waltz once a week to do her "homework" on the days he worked. Then, on a Friday night in October she and her friend Lila went down together for a drink "and I can show you the hot bartender!" she added. By the end of the night both Lila and Karl's friend Ian were rooting for them to exchange numbers (which would be helpful to catch each other's names, as they had both forgotten them 😄). Long story longer, here they are three years later, living together in Forest Grove, starting their married life together 👰💍💏 They found love in Forest Grove 💜
