How We Met

Plan B turned into Plan A

Nina and Lexi were sitting at the end of the bar at Plan B in Glastonbury, well into their dinner (and red wine) when two guys came up and sat next to them. We turned to see who it was and you could say Nina was impressed. Bryan claims that he saw Nina from across the bar as soon as he walked in and made a conscious choice to sit next to her. Bryan struck up a conversation with Lexi (as she was sitting directly next to him) in order to try and get Nina's attention. Nina, of course, thought Bryan was cute from the first time she saw him, and wondered why he wasn't talking to her instead. Eventually, Bryan and Nina ended up next to each other, going back and forth with the typical "get to know you" questions and conversation. What started as a casual dinner between two friends, turned into a long night of laughing, chatting, and just a little dancing. Nina and Bryan hit it off right away, exchanged numbers, and talked about going out soon. Nina left the bar that night having had fun, but with no idea if she would ever hear from him again.

Our First Date

August 21, 2014

Immediately after Nina and Bryan met that fateful night at Plan B, Nina was headed off on vacation for the next week, but they had talked about going out when she returned home. The ball was in Bryan's court to reach out to Nina, which he did the week after Nina got back. He asked if she liked golf and pizza (surprise, surprise...this TOTALLY sums up Bryan), she told him she had a pretty mean swing–she didn't think he believed her in that moment–so they made plans to have dinner at Billy Tee's in Cromwell. They had pizza and beer outside on the patio, then hit some balls at the driving range. Bryan then believed Nina about her golf swing. Nina should have known then that when Bryan incorporated golf into their first date, it would become a staple in their lives. Fun Fact: Bryan never asked Nina to be his girlfriend, so we consider our first date as our dating anniversary. It just naturally flowed into what we call "what was meant to be." We both think that we were meant to meet that night at Plan B and how lucky that we did... talk about being at the right place at the right time!
