5 months prior to this special moment, a small group of friends and I took our annual guys trip to Whistler.
While there, a buddy of mine had met a girl, we drank and had fun, they exchanged numbers only to not talk again for another 4 months.

Flash forward, my buddy gets a text from his friend from Whistler, she tells him she is coming to our (near by) town to see a concert, he excitedly said yes but didn't want to go alone. Being the best friend, he asks me to go with him to the concert, only later to find out that it's a Post Malone concert and that I have no interest in spending a crazy amount of money for floor seats for us to be with her and her friends at a concert I don't want to go to in the first place, but I did it anyway.
The date was April 29th, 2018. We we're on the floor in front of the stage. Well I was, my buddy was sucking face with this girl somewhere and I was having a decent time, standing there listening to music, pounding beers to past the time. I like to think I am pretty outgoing, especially when I have been drinking so I start conversations with the girl beside me. We started talking about how people were pushing their way to the front even though there was no room to begin with. All the sudden here she comes. Walking up with a beer starting to talk to the girl I was having a conversation with.
I was star struck, I never really knew the type that all my friends said I go for, but man did she hit every box. I was trying to play it cool, and I was out of beer, so I left for a refill. As I am coming back the main event is starting and the people that were hanging in the back of the floor we're suddenly rushing to the stage. There was no way I was getting back to her. But finally I did. We hung out the whole concert having fun. Last song comes and the crowd dispersed. She was nowhere to be found. I find my buddy and we are walking out of the venue with my head held low because I didn't get her number.
We call an Uber and walk to the front. I see her standing up against the wall and my face lights up like the street light she is standing almost perfectly under. We talk for a second and get a call from the Uber driver, he's here, just when I was about to ask her for her phone number, her friend says "Well, I guess see you never?"
It's my shot, I take it and ask for her Snapchat, which I felt totally weird saying as I would normally say number, but I guess the beers got the best of me. Haha. Much to my surprise they said yes. A couple hours and a few more beers later I shoot my shot and ask her out. She said yes.

1 year later we are moved in and starting the next chapter of our lives together.
