We met in one of the most romantic places a couple could meet......a bar. Our dear friends, Mary and Brian Brower, had been trying to set us up for quite some time. Mary was a coworker (now BFF) of Tricia's and Brian is Dan’s best friend since high school. The Browers knew we would be perfect for each other, given our similar sarcastic, fun, and often inappropriate senses of humor. However, Tricia is super awkward, shy, and stubborn, so she kept telling Mary no. Silly Tricia. Nevertheless, on 11/4/2016, Tricia went out for what she thought was a fun night out with her St. Agnes coworkers at The Inn in Long Beach. The Browers, unknown to Tricia, asked Danny to come meet them for a drink after he got off of work. Since Tricia had been at the bar for a little while prior to Danny's arrival, the "water" she was drinking had somehow made her less shy and awkward. Once Danny showed up, Mary and Brian introduced them. After that initial introduction, they both knew it was game over. On 12/18/2016 (yes, a week before Christmas) Danny asked Tricia, "So......are we doing this?" Then on 4/1/2019, Danny asked Tricia, "Will you marry me.....no this isn't an April Fools joke." Tricia's response was yes to both questions, but not without a little eye rolling mixed with laughter, and the rest is history! We can't wait to celebrate with all of you on 7/29/2021!
