Like so many people today, we met through a dating app. Twice, actually! The first time, the conversation fizzled out after only a few messages back and forth. The second time, Brendan convinced Zoe to meet in person with his hilariously poor attempts at being charming. Our first date was at Draft & Vessel in Wauwatosa, and before it was through plans for a second date were already in place. After the second date, Zoe told her mother that she would be marrying Brendan some day. Brendan then invited Zoe on a week-long trip to Belize, only two months after they started dating. After the trip we... somehow still liked each other? If you can survive an international trip that early into a relationship, you can survive everything else that comes your way. With that in mind, after over 2 years together, we decided to get married!
