Brianna and Jason met during their first year at Florida Gulf Coast University at the freshman dining hall. Jason still claims he “smoothly” found a way to get Brianna’s snapchat, and over the next week, the two kept unexpectedly running into each other around campus. Before long, they decided it was finally time to hang out one-on-one. Only a short time after they met, Brianna got COVID and had to return home for a couple weeks. What could have slowed down a new connection only brought them closer. They spent hours talking on the phone every day and night, quickly realizing that what they had was becoming much more than a friendship. Their official first date was spent at Barefoot Beach Preserve followed by Mexican food. A simple day that marked the beginning of something special. From the very beginning, Brianna and Jason knew they had found their person, their best friend, and the one who makes them feel at home. Their relationship has been built on a foundation of love, trust, and partnership. From joyful moments spent with family and friends to seasons marked by loss, health concerns, and time spent living apart for work, Brianna and Jason have continued to find strength, comfort, and unwavering support in one another. Then came October 25, 2025. What Brianna thought would be a simple girls’ weekend with her friends turned into one of the most unforgettable moments of her life. Jason had planned a surprise proposal at The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota. In that moment, everything they had built together led to one perfect "yes"! Now, as they begin this next chapter as husband and wife, Brianna and Jason are so excited to celebrate their marriage surrounded by the people who mean the most to them. Thank you for being part of their love story and for sharing in this special day.
