With most of the world on COVID-lockdown, opportunities for social interactions became very limited. Under the encouragement of both of their cousins, they both downloaded the same dating app. Shortly thereafter, they matched and the rest is history.

The original plan was to surprise her with a weekend getaway at Cliff House Hotel. During a romantic sunset walk along the cliffs, he would propose, and have the picturesque scene captured by a hired photographer. These plans were thwarted with an April Nor’Easter. Feeling defeated that his plans were ruined, he reluctantly took Briana to see a Broadway cover band performing at the hotel. During the performance, they asked the audience to share something positive that came out of this pandemic. Briana and Landon shared that the most positive thing was finding each other. Enamored with their quarantine-love story, they were asked to share a first dance together, while the band sang John Legend’s All of Me. This impromptu moment created a second chance to save the weekend, but Landon was not prepared. He no longer had the ring on him. It was left in the hotel room. He shared his disappointment with Briana who was surprised to learn this wasn't pre-planned. They continued dancing until Landon unexpectedly stopped and dropped to his knee, asking the fateful words “Will you marry me?” She said yes, but her face was covered in confusion. He was on bended knee with open, empty hands. The audience took notice as Landon jumped up exclaiming he forgot the ring upstairs and will be right back. He darted out the ballroom leaving Briana standing alone in shock, awe, and confusion. She tried to return to her seat, but the audience insisted she stay and wait in the front of the room. Briana grew more anxious as the band continued to sing All of Me repeatedly as the audience waited in anticipation of Landon’s return. After what felt like an eternity, he returned sprinting through the doors with an epic knee slide (ring in hand) to the sound of cheers and applause. The next day the weather cleared up and they were able to recreate the pictures he had originally planned on the cliff with the photographer.
