One night after work, Derek decided to grab a beer with his best friend Diego at Tijuana Taxi. Little did he know his life was going to change. His bartender was Brieanne. He would order a bud light and Brieanne used to throw him a lime and watch him eat the entire thing. He came into the bar another night and told her he was moving to Ocala Florida. She thought well I’ll never see him again. A year later he came into the bar and had told her he had moved back to Weston. Brieanne was so excited and one night they exchanged numbers. Brieanne had made several attempts to hang out but they never went through. Finally one night Brieanne was with some friends downtown and Derek decided to meet her there. From there they went on many fishing and kayaking adventures. Brieanne then took a job in Juno Beach and Derek took the big leap to move north to be with her and the rest is history!
It was the night before Brieanne’s birthday and she was just leaving a conference in Orlando. Derek asked her if she would like to go somewhere nice. Derek met Brieanne with their son Gunner at Texas de Brazil. Derek said he always saw the time 9:19 but never knew what it meant. The day was 9/19/18 and he knew this was the day I’m supposed to propose to Brieanne. As they arrived to the car after dinner, Brieanne opened the car door to get the seat ready for Gunner. As she turned around there Derek was on one knee with Gunner and said “Gunner and I were wondering if you would share the same last name as us.” He then pulled out a beautiful ring and Brieanne was speechless. They were engaged on 9/19 and Derek finally knew why he saw those numbers all these years.
