I should give him some credit though, because he's not wrong. Our first date began in the best bar in Marshfield. Nutz Deep II.

I know what you're thinking, but it is a family friendly atmosphere and they serve the best fried pickles this side of the Mississippi. It was a Tuesday night, and we ate, we drank, and played multiple games of pool that took way too long to complete because I couldn't hit a single ball for my life.

Fast forward through a month of getting to know each other, more bad pool games, and more fried pickles, and we made things official after Alex brought me to the local zoo to walk through the beautiful Christmas lights.
