How We Met

New York to Nebraska

On Friday, July 6th, 2018 my friends and I were out for the first time in downtown Omaha for a little weekend getaway. Of course, us being small town girls and never having experienced the Omaha nightlife, we picked the most poorly lit and quietest bar in the city. Instead of high tailing it out of there as soon as we could, we decided we would get one drink there and relax before moving on to the next bar. When we got our drinks there were no open spots to sit, we stood at the bar for a few awkward minutes before I spotted two guys get up from their spot. As soon as they got up, like bandits in the night we all ran over to lay claim to their table. Luckily a couple minutes later, those two guys returned and one of them had the guts to say "Hey, you guys stole our spot." They turned out to be brothers, and I immediately noticed the one named Christopher who was tall and had beautiful blue eyes. We ended up hanging out with them all night and even the next night. Chris had to go back to New York Sunday morning, but he immediately booked another ticket to come back to Nebraska a month later to formally ask me to be his girlfriend. And the rest is history... ❤️
