Reception

Brent and I met each other on Hinge. Yep, that's right! It was an online dating app. We met at Stancato's after talking all week long and him understanding my love for pasta, he insisted we go to an Italian Restaurant. In the middle of a heavy snowstorm on January 20th, 2024, we sat down and got right to talking! I realized that his last name sounded familiar and that we actually went to the same high school together. I had graduated with his brother and remembered seeing Brent in the hallways, dressing up in his suits for Fancy Fridays and Bowtie Wednesdays. We ended up having such a great time talking that we ended up going to Mitchell's for some ice cream afterwards. We went out into the parking lot to drive over there and realized we parked right next to each other! After several dates, and previous strikeouts, we developed a strong friendship! We had many deep discussions, entertaining dates, and long walks together. Valentine's Day was approaching and Brent knew how this had been a difficult day for me and even though we just thought we would be friends, he had flowers sent to my school to make me smile! That's when I knew I wanted him to be more than just my friend. We officially started dating one week later, and the rest is history. Brent and I ﻿stood side by side through many highs and lows this past year, and officially moved in together in March of 2025. We had done many renovations and kept busy right up to the very best day, when he asked me to marry him in the beautiful botanical gardens in Cleveland on May 10, 2025. We look forward to a beautiful wedding day in Summer 2026 and overall life together. Thanks for listening to our story!

Oh Hey!... I Know You!
