The Cheesy Pickup Line Works (sometimes!)

In small-town Atchison, Kansas, fate brought together Garrett and Quinn in 2019. Both G and Q were attending Benedictine College on Athletic and Academic Scholarships. As the first few weeks of college flew by, their paths briefly intersected on social media. However, Quinn left Garrett and his cheesy pickup line on read (no reply)! Garrett, armed with determination and a dash of charm, seized the opportunity over a beer pong table in early October. How romantic ;) At this college party, Garrett swiftly captured Quinn’s attention (her number too) then walked her back home to the campus dorms. The two were basically attached at the hip from that day forward. Whether they were cheering each other on in their athletic endeavors or huddled over books during study sessions, their connection deepened day by day. November 15th, 2019, Garrett officially asked Quinn to be his girlfriend while in Omaha visiting the Ruff Family. Shortly after, the pandemic hit and campus shut down. G and Q were able to quarantine together in Omaha for a little over a month. Talk about testing the relationship! Roughly five years later, G and Q have enjoyed adventures spanning the globe; embarked on the journey of graduate school; savored new cuisines, and embraced hobbies both old and new. They’ve welcomed two sweet Bernedoodles, Maisie and Marley, into their little family too! Quinn is completing her Master’s in Architecture at Kansas State University. Garrett is pursuing a Masters of Business Administration in addition to being the Assistant Wrestling Coach at Benedictine College. They both will graduate in December 2025 then move to Tennessee. As they prepare to embark on the next chapter of their lives together, they invite you to join them in celebrating their love story, a testament to seizing the moment and embracing lifes delightful surprises with a little laughter and a whole lot of faith.

Our Love Story

After months of preparation and secretly browsing rings, Garrett finally had a game plan. On July 23, 2023, Garrett took Quinn on a date that would eventually change their lives forever! The two lovebirds started off the day by getting a quick bite to eat at Good Lookin’ in Dundee. They ventured over to Bodega Victoriana Winery afterwards to celebrate Garretts last weekend in Omaha that summer. G and Q shared laughs and memories while enjoying one of their favorite wines. Before you know it, Garrett got on one knee and popped the question. Easiest “Yes” Ever! Little did Quinn know, Garrett had planned for friends and family to surprise her at the Ruff residence for an engagement party! What a special day celebrating their love with friends and family!

The Proposal

Staying in Omaha? 

Omaha’s very own, ‘Henry Doorly Zoo’ was one of the first few dates we endeavored… and we had a blast! This zoo is known to be the very best in our nation! This is a fantastic way to make your weekend trip to Omaha even more special. We recommend grabbing lunch, enjoying the views, and wearing tennis shoes. Quinns favorite exhibit is the butterflies (and giraffes) and Garrett’s is the bears (because as always- “Bear Down!”).

While in the Omaha area, you need to check out the old market. The old market is great for couples and families. There are some fabulous restaurants and activities in the area (most within walking distance). Some of our favorite bars are Laka Lono Rum Club Tiki Bar, The Berry & Rye, and Mister Toad’s. It is a must to finish the evening with a trip to Hollywood Candy and Ted and Wallys!

Old Market

We LOVE the blackstone area. There are many fun bars and restaurants. We enjoy eating at Nolis Pizza, drinks at Little Rickys, and stopping for some of the best ice cream at Coneflower. Beware- Coneflower lines are typically outrageous, but totally worth it! This strip has the music, drinks, food, vibes, and scenery. Other Favorites include: Blackstone Social, The Blackstone Meatball, Cheeseburgers Omaha, and Nite Owl.

Blackstone District

Love bowling, skee-ball, and good vibes? This place is for you! Great music during the summer and the bar is wonderful! This is one of our go to spots in the Omaha area. 21+

Bob & Willies Wonderbowl

Beercade makes for a wonderful family friendly day. Grab your quarters, a drink, and play some video games. We love this spot in Omaha! Check out the different locations around town. You will not regret it! 

Beercade 

100-acre botanical gardens offering exhibits that change with the seasons, plus a cafe & gift shop. Great spot to take the family! 

Lauritzen Gardens

Looking to win big?! Head over to Harrahs Casino in Council Bluffs. 

Harrahs Casino 

This winery is not too far of a drive from Downtown Omaha! This is where Garrett proposed to Quinn back in 2023! Bodega Victorina Winery has a great selection of wine and we would definitely recommend this hidden gem while you are in the area! The views are absolutely beautiful and vibes are very peaceful!
