First off, Brianna's stylist helping her choose the perfect wedding dress thought this was the coolest "how we met" story she had ever heard and had to tell her manager. Brianna and Claudio met while working at Disney World. Brianna was a Chemistry intern and worked during the day and Claudio as a diver works at night. They had met a couple times but didn't know each other all that well. The fun part comes when Claudio responded to an Instagram story of Brianna's. The rest was history. They started chatting and seemed to click immediately. Claudio decided to come visit in Kansas. The very first day, he was thrown into meeting the entire family. Brianna's sister was graduating from college and the day Claudio arrived was the day of the graduation party. That trip went well and ever since, we have been visiting each other back and forth!

During Spring Break, Brianna took a trip to visit Claudio in Florida. Her aunt and uncle have a condo in Florida where they would stay at during the winter/spring so her family decided to come visit as well to stay with them. Everyone would ask Brianna about her spring break plans and when she explained that everyone would be in Florida, they all said she better be prepared to come back to Kansas with a ring on her finger. Brianna didn't believe anyone, she had absolutely no idea. On a Friday (March 19th) Brianna, Claudio, Kami, and Claudio's parents drove to Bradenton to hang out for the weekend with Brianna's family. That first night, we were supposed to have dinner at a nice restaurant on the beach. Brianna was extremely stressed because we were arriving late and Claudio got out of the car to "go look for parking" when in reality he was helping set up the proposal! When Brianna got inside, her sisters told her to go to the bathroom with them. One of her sisters (I won't name in case she thinks it is embarrassing) said that she had a rash on her butt and wanting Brianna to see it. In the bathroom, her butt was extremely red (from itching it). Brianna saw that her mom went live on Facebook and decided to check it out. Her phone was snatched away immediately and Brianna thought it was the weirdest, rudest thing of them to do. Brianna was finally taken outside to meet everyone where she found Claudio standing there waiting for her so he could propose.
