Our love story began during a time of change and new beginnings. Brian was returning home from New York while Avi was arriving in Ireland for the first time; all alone, friendless and without the ability to speak English. How times have changed since then; Avi is no longer alone, has many wonderful friends and now speaks some limited English. 🤣 A first date watching a terrible movie in Dundrum Shopping Centre led to eight incredible years together and we look forward to entering the next chapter of our lives with the continued support of our family, friends and dog; Estrella.

We are always conscious that our Brazilian family miss out on many moments of our lives and Brian was keen to ensure that they would definitely be a part of this one. So after a few (many) drinks Brian proposed to Avi on a beach in Porto Seguro surrounded by Avi's family. Surprisingly, Avi said yes and there was no going back.
