It all started on a Monday night—21 March 2016, to be exact. Max was doing his thing at a 5-a-side football game, while Fiona and her sisters were heading out for a "quick drink" (spoiler: it wasn’t quick) at their favorite bar, Aandklas. Meanwhile, the boys were having a beer pong showdown at the same spot. Coincidence? Fate? We’ll let you decide. Enter Megan (Fiona's sister) and her well-timed Facebook check-in. Weich, Max's best friend (and self-appointed social coordinator), saw Megan’s post and promptly rallied Max to Aandklas post-football. Megan, a matchmaking MVP, introduced us with this winning line: “Fiona, this is Max—he’s been to Canada. Max, Fiona wants to go to Canada.” What followed was an evening of drinks, laughs, and getting to know each other. By the end of the night, Max casually remarked, “That Fiona girl looks cool,” and Weich, in his infinite wisdom, slurred back, “If not, why not? Go for it!” Fast-forward two days to Fiona’s birthday, where quiz night at Aandklas sealed the deal. We lost miserably at trivia but won a night filled with fun and party vibes. As Max walked Fiona to her car, Fiona boldly asked, “Are you going to ask me for my number or what?” Nine years, a few challenges, and countless adventures later, here we are—about to say “I do.”
