So we met at a bar…
It all began on a lively night at Shellbacks, the infamous dive bar in Manhattan Beach. Bryan noticed Maggie from across the room and, feeling an undeniable spark, mustered the courage to introduce himself. Their conversation sparked immediately, igniting a playful debate over the classic rivalry between UCLA and USC.
But the night took a hilarious turn when Maggie, curious about Bryan’s age, asked him how old he was. When he replied “30,” she mischievously knocked off his hat, checking for a “hatfish.” Ironically, Bryan boasted long, wavy hair that clearly contradicted any notion of baldness. Shocked yet intrigued, he couldn’t help but admire Maggie’s boldness.
The party continued at a friend’s place, where Maggie insisted on introducing Bryan to her favorite movie, Puss in Boots. Amid laughter and the remnants of their vibrant night, they both woke up the next day with hangovers that were a little too memorable.
Determined not to let a little headache ruin the fun, Bryan invited Maggie on their first official date at Esperanza, a charming spot in Manhattan Beach. With margaritas in hand, they shared stories of their East Coast origins, their beloved dogs, and their mutual passion for EDM and travel.
From that night on, it was clear that this unlikely pairing was something special. Our story is one of laughter, spontaneity, and a love that grew from a serendipitous encounter at a dive bar. We can’t wait to share our journey with you!
