We met on Halloween of 2014. Matt had been working at Scotty's Brewhouse for a couple of years and he had already established some strong foundational friendships in this sweet little restaurant. I had been training for several weeks and Halloween was my first official shift as a SA (server's assistant). I knew I would be doing laundry, folding towels, rolling silverware, and filling ice. Matt was working a double shift. During the morning shift, Matt was The Godfather and during the evening shift, he decided to make an outfit change during his break. His new costume was a WAIT FOR IT... On Halloween morning, I received a message from my manager that I needed to wear a costume or else I wasn't going to be able to work that night. In response, I decided to go to the costume store and walked out with a big red crayon costume and a smile on my face. I got ready and walked into the server room to clock in. I looked up and I saw Captain Jack Sparrow (Vince Reece)!!!! I swiped my card. Then, I heard a voice saying "Hey Crayon...I am Banana." I turned around and saw this charming, blue-eyed, freckled human smiling at me. I looked back, red as my crayon costume and replied, "Hi Banana....I'm Crayon." Fast forward several months, Matt and I fell in love as we learned more and more about each other. We traveled to Florida 2 months into dating. When we returned, we continued to play guitar together, *attempt to* sing countless DMB, Red Hot Chili Pepper, and Trevor Hall songs. We attended concerts and karaoke nights at the Bluebird with our Scotty's staff. Every weekend was spent working many shifts together during busy game days. When we weren't working, we would travel up to Indy or Chicago to spend time with family and friends. We spent the next 2-5 years finishing up our degrees, adopting Bo, and beginning our careers. In addition to these new responsibilities, we committed to doing things that filled our cup; hiking, roadtrips, and you guessed it - more live performances. Fast forward 9 years from that Halloween night in 2014 and so much of this life has been lived and cherished together. Matt and I are SO amped to celebrate our love in May with all of you lovelies.
