The first time our paths crossed was on March 17, 2022 at the St. Patrick’s Day stable in Omaha, Barrett’s Barleycorn. On that day, Sean decided to take an off-duty security job at the bar to help with the large crowds, intoxicated patrons and earn some extra money. Across town, after the encouragement from a friend, Trish agreed to head out for some libations and fun with some friends on a party bus to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.

The first stop of Trish’s party bus happened to be at Barrett’s where luck would have it that Sean was stationed at the bars front door right where the bus let Trish and the other passengers off. After a few minutes, and some help breaking the ice from Trish’s friend, we had officially met. We only talked for a few minutes but the connection felt instant through our shared enjoyment of sarcasm and smart assery. We exchanged phone numbers and talked throughout the day. Through that conversation, Sean invited Trish back to Barrett’s when he was done working at 10pm to hang out. To his surprise, Trish made it back right in time. We spent the rest of the night enjoying some drinks, making fun of the overly intoxicated and getting to know each other until the bar closed.

Since that night, we haven’t looked back and our connection continued to grow. Any and all free time since then has been spent with each other. During this time we have met each others families, traveled across the country and Europe and most of all continued to fall in love more and more every single day. After six months of being together, Trish was introduced to Sean’s three kids, Zane, Gavin and Devanney. Since that time, the relationship she has built with each of the kids has truly been special and continues to grow everyday.

On the morning of October 24th, Sean surprised Trish with an overnight trip to Prairie Patch Farm in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Prairie Patch Farm is an old farmhouse bed and breakfast on a farm that houses llamas. For those who don’t know, Trish absolutely loves llamas, so much that she broke out into tears when she saw her first llama after we arrived on the farm. While at the farm, Sean coordinated a llama hike around the property and took that as an opportunity to propose to Trish with two of our favorite llamas by our side. We surprised our families with the news the next evening at dinner and are excited to celebrate with our friends and family.

We hope you can join us at our Happily Ever After Party on April 12, 2025.
