Nomis's Version

I just had Covid, and I was a day out of quarantine. My friends from work called and said get to The Battery. Naturally, I was all for it! I was ordering a drink at the bar when I saw Bailey (at that time I knew her as Sam's girlfriend, now wife) so I went to say hello, and there I met Regan. I played it cool, didn't talk to her much, but thought DAMN. I went on about my night and eventually a few hours later, I locked eye contact with Regan as she was carrying two huge pitchers of water and bursted into tears of laughter. We started talking a bit but it led to nothing at first. When I saw her again some other guy was talking to her so I bailed, and that was when Bailey DM'd me saying Regan wanted me to come back. So I ran. I don't remember what we talked about but it must have been good.

I asked Regan out and she said YES!!! Until....Thursday rolled around and she bailed. I asked my friends for advice and they said play it cool do your thing and you will see her again at Jordan's Halloween party. Fast forward to the party when we reconnected and from there I knew it was different. She said yes to another date, and we finally went sometime in November. She met my mom, dad, and sister on accident that night and how she handled it I knew I had found what I was looking for.

Fast forward almost 2 years from that day. We live together, are puppy parents together and in November 2023 she will have my last name!

Regan's Version

Oct. 10, 2020

Bailey and I were having a girls day. Our first stop to get the day going was our favorite brunch spot. We decided that we wanted to have the whole day to ourselves and then towards the end of the night we would meet up with her now husband Sam. Since Bailey lived at The Battery at that time, we decided that we would just spend the whole day there. Bailey and I were sitting at the bar in Sports and Social, throwing back some margaritas and nachos. All of a sudden this guy came up to Bailey and said "hey." He did not acknowledge me at all.. I thought he was cute, but didn't think much of it. Later that night, bailey and I wanted to play beer pong. For us to play, I had to go get two HUGE jugs of water. When I was walking back with the water I see that same guy that said "hey" to Bailey.. We made eye contact and started laughing. He came over to me and FINALLY introduced himself.. We talked for a few, and then he walked away. I told Bailey that I thought he was so cute and wanted him to come back. Bailey DMed him on Instagram to come back because I thought he was really cute. So you know what he did? He came back and brought me a drink. We talked and laughed all night!

The next day, Nomis asked me on a date. I first said yes, but then the day before we were supposed to go on our date I bailed.. Honestly, I have never been or asked to go on a proper date before, so I was scared.

Bailey asked me to go to this Halloween party with her.. I knew Nomis was going to be there. I was hesitant at first, but ended up going. Just know, I was terrified to see him. Not because I didn't like him, but because I bailed on our date. About an hour or so into the party (with a few drinks in) we started talking. I just knew we had a connection.

He asked me on an other date, and I know you're thinking.. Regan you better not bail. No I didn't bail this time. We went to a brewery and THEN had dinner with his parents, sister and her now husband. With how crazy that sounds, it was an amazing first date.

Now two years later, we live together, became puppy parents and on November 4th, 2023 ill have his last name.
