Brittney and Donnie’s story begins in East Lansing as students at Michigan State University. One day, while hanging out around campus, Brittney caught Donnie’s eye from afar in Hubbard Hall. He had no idea who she was but he thought she was cute and so he kept a mental note of the specifics. He knew that Michigan State had a very large campus so there was no guarantee that their paths would ever cross, but he also knew that a first impression was a lasting impression. So he went on with his day, business as usual - work and studying, without taking any kind of shot. One day, Donnie went to work at Sparty’s, as he did everyday - and there was Brittney, working as well. Some might say that it was fate that our paths crossed again, or you could say it was a coincidence. They were where they were supposed to be. They quickly became friends and exchanged in frequent banter, but then as senior years approached they became somewhat distant and ultimately, fell out of touch. Many years went by, then here comes 2020. Donnie had not had any communication with Brittney for years. Then Instagram had a new friend suggestion for him, none other than his old friend Brittney. They were both new people. Each growing in their own unique ways. Unsure of how she would react or if she was in a relationship, he thought about her and everything that he missed about her and decided that this time, he needed to shoot a shot. So the shot was set up, and landed with precision. They picked up right where they left off. The energy was unmatched, and they were always excited to see each other. Looking forward to the next date right after the last. Then COVID came and locked the world down while locking us in together. This forced us to grow as a couple, confirming a love for life.
