After Josh & Mat had been chatting online for a bit, they decided to meet up for dinner at a local small plates spot called Tico. They swapped stories and got to know each other. Josh was touched that Mat was heading home the next day to help his dad recover from surgery. Halfway through, Mat was already ready for date number two, hoping they could cook something together (turns out, we can't be in the kitchen together).

Josh does 7 of these every year, but this time it was personal. Mat packed up his apartment and schlepped the whole 7 blocks south to combine their wardrobes, kitchens, and lives. Maybe by the wedding we'll finish unpacking.

I'm sure my daddies had lives before I existed, but they weren't that interesting. On this day in history, Daddy picked me up and brought me home to a house filled with love, laughter, and a lot of shoes for me to chew on. I might have just been a puppy, but I knew what a special connection they had. It was love at first bark. - Minerva P.S. - no, I won't be there. All you people are scary!

Setting: Sunny day in Iceland's Thingvellir National Park in the morning. Josh: Mat, I'm really scarred after that underwater "adventure", can we go back to the hotel and rest? Mat: No. I want to walk around the park a little bit. Josh: But... Mat: Please, let's just walk around a little. Josh: Fine... grumble, grumble. After 30 minutes of walking around a beautiful park, Josh's funk had been dispelled. As they were walking past Parliament Rock, Josh & Mat were looking over a beautiful valley between the tectonic plates. Mat pops open a little box with a gorgeous ring. Mat: Wanna get married? Josh: Huh... Notices ring Josh: (stunned) Yes. Yes. End Scene.
