Picture of Our Story

Tommy and Meaghan met August of 2021 when she came into New Realm Brewing Company for her first day of training.


The next two years brought Meaghan and Tommy working very closely together to execute both private and public events at their company. They were nothing short of a dynamic duo, Tommy understanding the numbers and logistics of the event while Meaghan was all vision and creative. Most Friday mornings you could find us "working" in the office, our Friday chats started off with whatever events Meaghan was convincing Tommy were a good idea and then usually drifted off into more intimate conversations. They built a strong foundation of friendship, respect and trust through their many hours spent together.


It wasn't until December of 2022 that they both realized they had feelings for each other. This was long after everyone else that they had worked with saw the connection.


Meaghan, concerned for what dating would do for their work life, pushed the feelings off and tried to move forward, until Memorial Day weekend 2023. After a super long busy weekend Meaghan and Tommy met up at Whiskey Kitchen for some cocktails, this is where Tommy informed Meaghan that he had been briefly seeing a woman from New Realms speed dating event, that night Meaghan realized she would be VERY unhappy with Tommy dating anyone else and decided to very slowly let her guard down.


The slow burn of friendship and love created the perfect space for a beautiful relationship to grow. We spent the summer of 2023, dating and in September of 2023 Meaghan looked at Tommy and asked if he thought he might love her, to which he replied I do love you. The rest is history.
