8-14-16 Gosh, where do we start? Well, many of you know Bryan and Brittany's history separately and might have questioned where things were headed as they became friends, but let me reel you in with how they got to where they are now. They actually met through a group of friends going kayaking! Brittany was invited by her cousin, Allison, to join in on a spur of the moment kayaking trip on Patoka River. They literally met in the middle of a parking lot before jumping in a vehicle to go to their drop-off point. Brittany thought Bryan was cute, but she wasn't quite sure if he was off limits just yet, so she kept an open mind. Bryan was in the same "boat" and had his eye on her but didn't quite know if she was available. It wasn't long after kayaking before they started seeing each other consistently. Brittany was invited to a new bible study Bryan was currently attending; she started seeing him at church working the coffee bar and through mutual friends at different gatherings. This was just the start to their friendship, a new group of friends, and the beginning of them eventually admitting what was really going on between the two of them, which everyone else already knew.
2-18-18 They were there exactly one year ago on this special weekend. Bryan took Brittany back to Perfect North Slopes for a ski and snowboard trip in Lawrenceburg, IN. This place had an adorable historic part of town with glowing lights streamed over the old downtown strip, all the way down to the river walk. Once again, you could find them under the same clock tower, on a bridge they had previously walked, and in a town that meant something more this time. The good thing about getting engaged when it's cold out is all the layers you wear to hide the ring! Bryan's bulky layers hid everything quite well. This time, the two of them sat on a bench, on that little familiar bridge, overlooking the water. Bryan told Brittany this was the spot where he knew he started to fall in love with her (even before she knew), and this was the spot where he wanted to bring her back to ask her a question. She was so impatient and tried to get "YES" out before he could even finish his question! 'Patience is a virtue,' they say! Well, now these two lovebirds are engaged! Bryan and Brittany couldn't be more excited for you to celebrate this time with them and look forward to seeing you all in November!
