Our Wedding

Brooke and Clark first met in late August, 2016, after Brooke's brother-in-law, and now Clark's groomsman and friend, Chad Smith, began working as a law clerk at Clark's firm in Columbus, OH. Chad had mentioned to Clark several times how he believed that Clark and Brooke would make a nice couple, so Clark eventually agreed to meet Brooke on a double date with Chad and Chad's wife/Brooke's sister Tessia. Brooke was unsure, thinking that while she was willing to go out on this double date with Chad's new work acquaintance as a favor to him and a fun night out for herself, the chances of anything worthwhile occurring were slim. Clark thought the same, though he was a bit more cautiously optimistic after Chad showed him a picture of Brooke that piqued his interest.On the night of the first date, Chad and Tess brought Brooke and Clark to Beer Barrel, a nice, local restaurant that Chad and Tess ended up frequenting way too often (I swear, every time we went out to eat after that first visit, their initial and only suggestion was Beer Barrel... and I'm only slightly exaggerating).In any event, the meal was nice and Brooke and Clark were getting along great. They all went to the local Hollywood Casino afterward, where Chad's blackjack addiction first came to fruition. Clark loved how Brooke was interested in him but, at the same time, comfortable enough with herself to let Chad and Clark hang out while she and her sister did the same.The four ended up hanging out again the next morning/afternoon, grabbing brunch at CBC in the brewery district just south of downtown and playing golf later on in the day. Clark and Brooke had so much fun that weekend and the rest of the late summer/early fall that they knew something special was happening. Turns out, they were right - everything since has been the happiest time of their lives, and they can't wait to spend the rest of their lives together.And oh, I almost forgot... thanks Chad.

 All Because of Chad
