Sean’s college sophomore year roommate asked him to move to Nashville a month after he graduated, and he said yes. His roommate had been friends with the twin sister of a girl that Brooke went to college with and who already lived in Nashville. Brooke was planning on moving down to Nashville and living with her. Sean’s roommate suggested that all four of them get a house together, so they could all save money on rent. Nashville is not cheap. Naturally everyone agreed. Sean and the other two already living in Nashville, moved into a house with an extra bedroom for Brooke, who was moving down one month later. Though they had talked through text message and over the phone with regards to their living situation, Sean and Brooke had never met before. On the night of December 22nd, 2019, Sean and Brooke met when Brooke arrived from her trip down to move in. They hugged and made their official introduction, but both knew this was more than just a roommate meeting a roommate. Over the next six months through glances, jokes, group hangs, and evenings “accidentally falling asleep on the couch next to each other”, they grew closer until eventually they sat down to have a conversation about their mutual feelings for one another and what to do about it. They agreed to start dating in secret as a trial run, but quickly exposed their relationship as it was too hard to hide. They eventually moved out of that house and into another just the two of them, and grew stronger and stronger together over the next year and a half before Sean asked Brooke to marry him on February 22, 2022!
