On Wednesday, October 27th, 2021 I was having a "girls day out" with a friend who was in town. We had such a fun day and decided to go to "happy hour" and landed on Palo Santo. Luckily, after a short while we decided on a venue change, and went to The Jones Assembly.
Half way through the evening, our bartender changed to a cute, really nice guy (from what I could see with his mask on) a little time went on and all of his female coworkers came by one by one to tell me that he was single, multiple times, really great wing women, if you ask me!
By the time we were leaving, Dillon asked me to come back in two days. And I did. And the rest is history :)
On a slow Wednesday night I was pacing the Jones Assembly, when these two friends came in and sat in what was my coworker’s section until I abused my team lead possession and took it over. In hindsight, everything came together in the perfect situation as I traded banter with Kate and her friend, and since the night was slow, I got to show off my bartending chops by turning a can of truly into a bouquet for my future fiance. As the night came to a close, I very nervously asked them to come back again (thankfully I could hide my nervous expression behind my mask). To my surprise they showed up to hang out on our patio. It was a chilly night and we all know Kate never wears a jacket, so in a moment of smoothness I had never and have never since replicated, I offered Kate my jacket to wear while they sat on the patio. I suppose I made a good enough impression because a date led to asking to be her boyfriend, which led to asking her to be my wife.
