Picture a beautiful November night in south Florida; slightly breezy, no humidity, and a little chill in the air. The two, strangers at the time, found themselves at the same bar in downtown Ft. Lauderdale. Janice with her girlfriends and Ken with his pals. Unknowingly having a friend of a friend that would bring their groups together.

The night goes on as most nights do with a series of "hat tricks" "yee-yees" and "yee haws". The friend groups mingling and having a good time until Janice was brave enough to ask to take on Ken's famous hat trick! The evening came and went without a second thought but with many good memories made and more importantly a new friendship.

Some weeks had passed and a couple random run ins. Little did these two know that their ties were much deeper than just a friendship. Again on a beautiful South Florida night Janice and Ken found themselves at the same place at the same time totally unplanned. With intrigue about one another a mutual friend made a connection and pushed both Janice and Ken into growing their friendship hoping for them to see how perfect they were for each other.

Some months came and went and the friendship stayed just that until life brought Janice and Ken back together with force through more prompting through multiple mutual friends.

After several karaoke nights and many many hours spent talking about all things life; past, present, and future. It was apparent to both Ken and Janice that the foundation for something extraordinary was there.

The rest, they say, is history.
