Dating a co-worker turned out to be the “best stupid decision ever” for animator Kevin Ulrich.

In a new video, posted to his [Brotherhood Workshop](https://www.facebook.com/BrotherhoodWorkshop/timeline) YouTube [channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6t9Bf2o-l8AEv9mv91p22g) on Monday, Ulrich recreated his workplace love story using LEGO. The animated adventure shows Ulrich being introduced to his new co-worker, Celina, deciding to do “something stupid” with her, and ultimately falling in love over a series of car rides, coffee, aquariums and ostriches.

The film ends with a marriage—and an appearance from _Lord of the Rings_‘ Gollum, because Ulrich and his now-wife are unabashed geeks. (He told [Daily Dot](http://www.dailydot.com/geek/lego-love-story-brotherhood-workshop/?fb=dd), “We have the rest of our lives to be nerdy together.”)

The video took Ulrich over 70 hours to put together, and while it is only 73-seconds long, it documents an incredible love story.
