We hit it off on a Halloween Bar Crawl hosted by UMass Lowell. Scott bought my drinks the entire day, and by the end of the night, asked me for my number. Our first date was at Lowell Beer Works a couple of weeks later. We both ordered pumpkin beer and split a plate of nachos. The rest is history.

The world had just shut down due to the pandemic, and I was only leaving the house to go to work. After trying to persuade me on more than one occasion to take a drive somewhere, Scott finally settled on coming over to bring me ice cream. Scott popped the question on the steps of the condo we now own together. And no, he didn’t forget the ice cream!
