Trish and Alex met at a local brewery, Lost Abbey, in Cardiff, CA. It was a beautiful fall day. Alex had just moved from Seattle (literally hours before.) And Trish had just finished a long stroll with her dog, Kai. One pint in, and it was laugh and love at first sight. 6 days later, they went camping with friends. In the middle of the night, Trish realized Kai had escaped the tent. In a panic, she went out to find her. At the exact moment she went to grab Kai's collar, a skunk sprayed them both from a very close range. From that moment on, albeit a smelly one, Alex was smitten. Or so he says so to make Trish feel better.
