Our story began at Back Channel Brewery, where Tom happened to work at the time. When we first met, Tom was so nervous that he actually knocked over a glass while introducing himself to me! Despite the rocky start, Tom never gave up- he asked for my number more than once, but I kept holding back and insisted we should just be friends. Eventually, I was the one who asked for HIS number. We stayed friends for a while, building a genuine connection, until it became clear that we were meant for something more. What started with a broken glass and some persistence has turned into the most meaningful relationship of our lives.
