Our story is your typical Iowa love story. While Mary was attending Iowa State University and Brant was attending the University of Iowa they both accepted internships at Casey's Corporate Office in Ankeny, IA. They met during their internship, however nothing progressed until shortly after the internship was over. In the fall semester, Mary reached out to Brant because she needed a formal date. Brant accepted this invitation and that's when their relationship started taking place. Brant began driving over to Ames from Iowa City multiple times a week so that he could spend time with Mary and bring her Chick Fil A for lunch.
