It all started when one of Michelle's best friends Katie (Matron of Honor) and Patrick's friend Bobby's (Groomsman) little brother were both graduating from ISU. Long story short, we ended up at Six Strings country bar, where Kate (Bridesmaid) saw a man with a fishbowl walk by. Kate followed him, asking him where he got the fishbowl, he insisted we come share it with him & his friends. So Michelle & her girlfriends ended up with Jasen (man with the fishbowl), Patrick, and his friends. Sarah (Maid of Honor) mentioned to Michelle that Patrick looked like a guy who played baseball that Michelle always thought was super cute. Sarah pushed her into him so she would talk to him, and that is where it all started when Michelle asked Pat "Do you play baseball?". Pat's response was "Do I look like I play baseball?". This night Michelle called Pat her "Dream human". We all ended up hanging out together until 4am, where Sarah beat all the boys in NHL on Xbox, Kate cleaned the entire apartment, and we all threw GoldFish into each other's mouths. Pat and Michelle ended up exchanging phone numbers, and a week later we all met up back home in Naperville. A couple weeks after that, Pat & Michelle had their first date at Jimmy's Grill... and the rest is history!
