We first met in 2009 at a friends party. We were in the same circle of friends, but somehow had never met until that night. Mario Kart tournaments were going on and he was wearing a Ninja Turtles shirt, so those were the first points we started bonding over...as people do.
We went to dinner at Boi Na Braza and decided to walk around Smale Park afterwards. After some walking and sweating in the heat and humidity, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. After all the excitement, we realized he had proposed to me right in the middle of the Black Brigade of Cincinnati Memorial...he's just very passionate about the Civil War.
