It's Brittany & Mitch!
We're gettin' married!
Read about us
In 2014, at a Cold Kingdom concert in Minneapolis, Brittany and Mitch met during a chance encounter where Brittany mistook Mitch for somebody else from a concert the week prior. Over the next couple months, Brittany and Mitch started meeting up at Cold Kingdom concerts deliberately. Eventually Mitch gathered the courage to ask Brittany to a hockey game, to which she agreed! As the addage goes, the rest is history.
On July 25th, 2017 on a regular old Tuesday, Mitch made some dinner and opened a bottle of Russian River's Pliny the Elder and placed a ring inside a tiny zip baggie inside the beer—a parody of the ol' ring-in-the-champage trick. Brittany took a sip, not noticing the junk floating in her beer... and then set the beer back on the table. Mitch "feigned" noticing something in her glass and pointed it out to her. Proposal was made and dinner celebration had!
