Shannon’s story: The night I decided to go out with my best friend Taylor was the best choice I’ve made! I arrived at MacMurphy’s after throwing on a t- shirt and jeans, not thinking much would come of that night, ordered myself a Jamo & ginger then saw Matt across the bar. I didn’t know who he was but he had on a pink/red polo and he was tall! Matt eventually came over and saved us from a man twice our age. But just before that he passed by behind me and I remember thinking, “is he going to talk to me?” When he finally came over to save us he asked me to be his darts partner because he and his buddy were short a partner. So obviously I said yes and I’ve loved Irish pubs ever since! Matt’s Story: Similar to Shan, there was a chance of me not going out that night and it was a game-time decision. Never forget when I walked down the stairs when we were about to leave and my buddy goes “you look like s***. Yes I wasn’t on my game until I locked eyes with a beautiful blonde from across the bar, and yes I’m not talking about Guinness blonde either. I did a lap around the bar and noticed some guy who looked like twice her age creeping on her and her friend Taylor. As I walked by she gave me the look and I said to myself “oh yea, I’m in.” Did another lap and the ACTUAL line was “hey I have a problem I need help with. My buddy thinks he can beat me in darts and I need a partner.” Now here we are. We have spent every day since then happy and I’m proud to say that I feel like the luckiest man on the planet.
