We met back in the Fall of 2015 via my (Courtney) cousin Kelly McFarland (Maid of Honor)! The actual first encounter is up for much debate between the two of us but I like to claim it was a *romantic* night in Brooklyn at a dive bar called Union Pool in Williamsburg. Kyle swept me off my feet by purchasing me the deal of the night - a Tecate beer along with a tequila shot! The way to any girls heart right?! I was so caught off guard that I spilled the tequila shot all over me and Kyle responded with... " I think you should take a lap". It was in that moment I knew it was FATE! I quickly took my lap and called Kelly double checking he was indeed single and the rest was history! Over Thanksgiving Break of 2015 Kyle asked me on our first date which was to the Big East Basketball Tourney taking place at The Barclay's Center in Downtown Brooklyn. It was a double date with two of our best friends Ethan and Shelby Horne (Tried and True Nebraska Fans!!) where Nebraska was taking on the UC Bearcats! It was such a thoughtful and fun first date & one I will never forget! I also find it to be true fate that we are now getting married 7 years post that first date on Thanksgiving Weekend 2022.
