Thanks to our mutual friend, the internet, Bryan's opening line to me was a quote from Park's and Rec alum, Ron Swanson. Since it was obvious we both had the same sense of humor, there was no doubt I wanted to meet this witty man. We immediately hit it off and it didn't take long for Bryan to challenge me to a game of bocce ball. Whether I let him win or not is still up for debate :-)

Months went by and while wine tasting, which turned out to be our favorite sport, I realized this was the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Though I made him work for it, I eventually said "I love you too!". I haven't laughed as much or smiled as easily with anyone.

Using our dog, Indy, as an excuse, Bryan finally got down on one knee at Carmel Beach and asked me to marry him. Though my response was expletive :-), there was no doubt in my mind the answer was YES!
