In 2017, Brianna moved to St. Louis to attend college, and although Brian and Brianna crossed paths several times, they never really talked - just two people unknowingly circling each other's lives. Then came 2020 and COVID. Brianna was heading back from a spring break trip to pack up her things and move home to finish the semester online in Chicago. Somewhere between the chaos of quarantine and the boredom of being stuck inside, Brian decided to reach out and little did she know, that message would change everything. What started as a quarantine conversation turned into a lifelong connection-and the beginning of their story. Fast forward to August 7th, 2025-one of the happiest days of their lives! Brian and Brianna had just returned to STL from a beachy getaway in South Carolina, and while Brianna didn't think they needed another trip before the work grind started back up, Brian insisted they head to Chicago for "the best week of her life." He claimed he was taking her out for a fancy steak dinner (which she absolutely loves), but she definitely started getting suspicious. Brianna later found out she'd accidentally spoiled a few of his proposal plans by tagging along to workouts and insisting on a Target run-oops! But despite the detours, Brian pulled it off perfectly. He proposed in Illinois- a place close to Brianna's heart-and they ended the night surrounded by some of their favorite people, celebrating a new chapter together. They can't wait to celebrate the next chapter with all of you!
