We know what you’re thinking. Shotgun wedding huh? Originally, we planned on running away and getting married but quickly realized we couldn’t do it without you all there. We just didn’t want to wait a year to be married!

Bri's side: I spotted him outside of the Ugly Mug one night after work in August of 2020 and immediately asked everyone around me who he was considering it was the most unlikely thing to ever spot a local that you have never met before. He was carrying a case of black cherry white claws and wearing board shorts. Over the next few weeks, I stayed persistent in getting to know him better and even triple checked the invite list on a bike tour in the hopes that he would be going. Finally, on a night out in Carney's in September, we spent what felt like hours talking outside and had our very first kiss and have spent almost every single day together since having our first OFFICIAL date at the Wharf watching the Eagles on a Sunday afternoon. Reefs side: Every smile I get from Bri reminds me of the first day. I was walking up the beach while we were out on a bike tour bar crawl, Bri was laying on the Stegers chair storage and that smile is all I could think of. A couple nights out together, only wanting to spend more and more time with one another. Finally, our first official date to the Wharf. Not much was said because nothing had to be. We both knew, forever and ever.
