At Benchmark Restaurant, located in Perrysburg, Nicole got dropped off at the door due to it storming outside. Right away, Nicole spotted her brother in law, Josh, sitting at the bar with his friend. That friend happened to be Brian. Nicole's date walked in, so it was a quick hello and introduction. When Nicole walked away, Brian turned to Josh and said, "she is so gorgeous. Set me up." As a matter of fact, Nicole and her date sat 3 seats down from Brian and Josh at the bar. A couple weeks go by after Nicole and Brian briefly met each other at Benchmark. Nicole's sister, Brooke, calls Nicole and invites her to have a drink with her and Josh. Brian also happened to be there. Within a half hour of Nicole showing up, Brooke and Josh left, leaving Nicole and Brian alone at the restaurant. They finally exchange numbers and end up going to Nicole's friends house for a party, where Brian got to meet all of her college friends. A week later, it was Super Bowl Sunday. Josh invites Brian over to Nicole's parents house (Nicole would never have a guy she just met meet her parents this soon!). Brian walked in with 2 bottles of Louis Martini wine saying, "one is cheap and one is expensive, guess which is which." Nicole was very shy that night and barely talked to Brian. After that party, Brian and Nicole started texting more frequently and going out on dates a couple times a week where they quickly made their relationship official.
