Their paths crossed on an otherwise forgettable Wednesday night in Austin, TX. Lindsay was out watching her beloved Tarheels eventually lose to Ohio State. Tony was catching up with a friend from out of town. Despite her visible frustration with the outcome of the game, Tony was drawn to Lindsay's passion and beauty. With the odds stacked against him, Tony was eventually able to peak Lindsay's interest with mention of Iceland from which, she had just traveled. They spent the next few hours blissfully unaware of the rest of the group, trading their travel bucket lists and favorite beers. Just a few days later a coffee date turned into eight hours together. After all, they had to make the most of the time they had as Lindsay was set to leave for Phoenix in a short six weeks. Timing be damned, they had unfinished business so they stuck together during Lindsay's Phoenix rotation and she decided to give Austin another shot to see if this thing was real. Turns out she was right.

Asheville, NC had been on Lindsay and Tony's list since they met. Deciding to spend the weekend there for their anniversary just felt right. Three years to the day from when they first met, they planned to wake before sunrise to get a hike in before her family came to town to spend the day brewery hopping. Little did Lindsay know that as they climbed up the mountain in a light drizzle, Tony had a ring in his pocket and was rehearsing what he'd say when he got on one knee. The moment was special, perfect and amazing. Unfortunately Lindsay, so overcome with emotion, doesn't remember much... An added bonus to the day was being able to surprise her family with the news in person.
