Our Story

Chloe and Brent's first date! 
Chloe was working with Brent's sister, Brooke, at Starbucks while they were in college. Brooke had been subtly dropping suggestions to Brent and Chloe that they should meet. After seeing pictures of Brent, Chloe deemed Brent "wasn't her type" and Brent wasn't interested in dating at the time. 
After a few months of casually bringing up the other, Brooke was successful. Brent shot Chloe a message on 1/16/2018. After *freaking out*, Chloe responded like the ~cool girl~ she was. During the next week, the two were smitten with each other, sending text novels back and forth between Brent's shifts and Chloe's classes. The two set a date to meet in person on 1/23/2018 at Top Golf. Brent picked her up in the Blazer, with our bridesmaid Hailey spying on us from her car to make sure Brent was real. HA! The two hit it off and didn't want the night to end. Top Golf was followed by a date to the Union, a quest to pick up our groomsman Mason, a pizza date, a slow drive back home, a kiss at the doorstep, and a promise to be in touch soon. 
Chloe kept Hailey up alllllll night telling her all about the guy that "wasn't her type". ;)
