In the most Midwestern way possible, Charlie and Emily met at Will’s Northwoods Inn while playing against each other in a weekly euchre league. With their respective partners, Frank and Alyssa, the group enjoyed some cards, a few Miller Lites, and lively conversation. Charlie and Frank won the match. Several months passed before the two teams played again. After another competitive euchre match, Charlie asked Emily for her phone number—winning both the match (again) and the girl.
