How We Met

Along time ago in a town not so far away…. In November of 1998, Brian took a part time job working at Chili’s in Downers Grove as a server. That is where he met Casey. Casey and Brian actually did not like each other at all when they first met. Brian thought Casey was stuck up and Casey thought Brian was a pig. One of Brian’s first memories of Casey was when he said hello Case-a-dilla (like quesadilla) and Casey made it known to EVERYONE that was working that her name was Casey.

January of 1999 came and with it a huge snow storm hit Chicago and the suburbs. Casey made it to work, along with Brian and a few others. The resturant closed down a few hours later due to the snow, and guess who got stuck. Casey!! Brian had a Chevy Z71 4x4 and Brian offered to follow her home in case she got stuck. The snow was so bad that Brian had to push Casey into the parking space.

As January went on so did the friendship that formed between Brian and Casey. On Super Bowl Sunday of that year they had their first date, but it was not until three weeks later that they shared their first kiss. Casey’s first reaction was WOW!! Somehow Brian knew at that point that this was the woman that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

Shortly after that Brian took Casey out to a local club where Brian was meeting some friends. As the night continued on Casey learned of the friendship between Brian and Bill. At the end of the night Casey told Bill that "Brian was the man she would marry."

The rest as they say is history…
