Bretten and Jordan first met at an Otterbein Christian Fellowship (OCF) meeting on Thursday, September 30th. They briefly introduced themselves to one another at the beginning of the meeting--it was Jordan's first time attending OCF. Around a month later on Friday, October 22nd, they formed a real connection at the OCF annual Halloween party. That next Friday, October 29th, Jordan asked Bretten on a date to go see a play called A Lie of the Mind, and they stayed up until 2 am talking in his car. Tuesday, November 2nd, Bretten took Jordan to a Bible study with other college-aged students, and afterward, they stayed up and talked until 12:30 am. Then on Thursday, November 4th, 2021, Bretten and Jordan watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail together in Jordan's dorm complex, and Bretten asked her to be his girlfriend on the walk over to that week's OCF meeting.
