HOW WE MET

Like all great love stories, this one starts in a bar. After a long day of surfing, Brendan and his mates decided to grab a pint or 5 at at the same bar as Cate, who happened to be in San Diego for a work trip. They talked and flirted all night and hit it off from the start. As they say, the rest is history!

THE FIRST DATE

Convincing your friends to drive a few hours back to San Diego so you could go out to dinner with a girl you met in a bar the night before seems like an easy sell, right? Cate is forever thankful that Brendan's friends, for whatever reason, agreed to return so they could go out to dinner.

THE PROPOSAL

Picture this: You're with the one you love in a beautiful cabin on the edge of the Ngorongoro Crater. The sun has finally come out after days of clouds. Your loved one suggests going to sit outside on the balcony to take in the sunset. You are unnecessarily slow in joining them outside (it's cold!), but arrive to a vintage champagne bottle, charcuterie board, and blankets. You spend a minute and take it all in and then it happens: he gets on one knee.

Sounds like a movie right? Well, that's what happened. Cate obviously had to think about it and said "Yes" a few weeks later.
