In the fall of 2019, Kimberly and Patrick went on their first date to Ale on Oak Street. Before Kimberly could even get out of the truck, Patrick was asking her how the date went and if there would be another one. He had no clue at the time how their lives would change through their courtship. It took two dates, one boat ride, and several beers for Patrick to ask for a kiss. Patrick accepted Kimberly and her 3 dogs, and Kimberly took on a role with Vivianne she never imagined would evolve into a mixture of love and friendship. They have faced challenges together that only made them stronger, most notably losing (then finding) their dog Rue. They have been blessed to also see incredible joys from this life, including watching Vivianne grow up and traveling across the country together. Patrick is happy to forever be Kimberly's personal crawfish peeler and bartender, and Kimberly wakes up every day knowing how blessed she is to get to marry him.
