Make Love, Not Warcraft

A romance found in a virtual world.

Bri and Drew met in the online game World of Warcraft, where their avatars crossed paths during their weekly raids with their guild. What started as a group of friends playing games together and hanging out in voice chats, turned into sharing stories beyond the game. Their virtual adventures deepened their connection, and before they knew it, there were feelings beyond just being friends who game together. Eventually, pixels turned into reality when they met in person, realizing their love was more than just a game. After navigating a long distance relationship for almost 2 years of playing games together, having discord virtual dates with video calls and traveling to see each other for short visits every 4-6 weeks, they closed the distance in 2020. Drew not only stands by Bri’s side but also embraces his role as a loving bonus parent to her two daughters Valyrie and Elly, proving that sometimes, the best loot in life is love. Together, they’ve built a beautiful life—one filled with laughter, love, and their two adopted cats, Suen and Lulin, named after celestial beings from the world where their story first began. Now almost eight years later, they’re ready for their next great adventure—marriage. With hearts full of love and excitement, they can’t wait to share their special day with the friends and family who have supported them on this incredible journey.
