It was Brittany who chose to share that part of their story to the SportsDay Style that made the pair fall accidentally in love. She said:
"We were sitting outside and I walked in to order and Harrison is walking out of the door, we stand there and stare at each other for a second with the glass in between us. I'm like waiting for him to open the door, right? And he's just staring. So I open the door and I'm like, chivalry must really be dead, right? And he's like, 'Oh, my bad. What's your name?' That's exactly what he said.

"I said, 'Brittany.' And he said: 'My name's Harrison.' I said I knew because everybody knew who the basketball players were."
