Brian and Kate first met on a dating app in June of 2019 after Brian posted a terrible joke about a plateau being "the highest form of flattery." Kate, not being able to resist a dad joke, took the bait and messaged him. The two hit it off and soon Kate was bringing Brian cookies and taking his chair during his shifts as a bouncer. After a few months of dating, the two became inseparable. Kate moved back to Athens after graduation to be close to Brian while he finished school. Then, Brian moved to Atlanta with Kate to be her rock and support system during PA school. The two got engaged after 4 years of dating when Brian proposed at the top of a mountain in Colorado this past August.
