Brianna and Alex met for the "third time" at a Lansing Lugnuts game. Brianna and her friends Bekah, Melissa and Shanna were there for a girls night and were surprised when they walked in and saw Anthony, Bekah's then-boyfriend (now husband). Anthony was at the game with Alex and another friend, Jon. Brianna was quickly dismayed when Anthony offered for the women to sit with them - remember this was supposed to be a girls' night! While Alex and Brianna did not get to talk much during the game, Alex ended the evening by inviting Brianna to join him at The Riv, Brianna knew she had to go! And the rest is history!

With a mutual love for traveling, Brianna and Alex decided to take a 10-day trip to Iceland together. After landing in Reykjavik, they rented a car and spent their days traversing the entire country, taking in beautiful Icelandic landscapes like powerful waterfalls, calm fjords, green hills and sparkling icebergs. One day, when they were hiking the Skógafoss waterfall, Brianna remembers saying, "Wow, this is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen." It was right then that Alex sat down, looked at Brianna and said, "Are you sure this is the most beautiful thing you have ever seen?" He then pulled out a small box with a ring. Brianna of course said "yes" and then even made him reenact the whole thing again down on one knee!
