Yeah, you read that right. Timmy had been sending Brittany memes for 2 YEARS. All through Instagram DM's. They had a mutual friend, and ended up following each other due to Timmy's comedic rage video in uniform during COVID, and Brittany's Muscle Mommy qualities. Eventually (FINALLY), Timmy asked Brittany out to dinner should he ever be in Colorado. After a brief (long) pause from her, (she scrolled through his profile once more) she agreed. They have talked every day ever since then. The first time they facetimed, it was on Timmy's birthday in 2022. The two of them clicked effortlessly, but were 12 hours away from each other in different states. It was time to meet in person. Fast forward to later in May, Brittany hopped on a plane to see Timmy. She was FREAKING OUT, and stalled before departing the plane and exiting through the airport to see Timmy, who was awaiting her arrival to pick her up. Their first kiss was in the airport after meeting for the first time in person. Timmy cooked her dinner that night, and took her on a few dates while she was in Texas. Timmy and Brittany were in a long distance relationship for 14 months, each taking turns to visit the other every month. They got to know what was important to the other: Family, God, fitness, growth, and taking care of those around them. Any close friends of Brittany and Timmy can attest to how quickly they fell for each other, and how obvious it was that they were "the one" Brittany moved to Texas in 2023 after graduating from college to live with Timmy, and the two have lived like best friends having a sleepover every night since. There's constant love, laughs, dancing in the kitchen, yelling over tv shows (Love is Blind is a love/hate relationship, and One Piece and The Office are in constant rotation), giggling in bed, and agreeing to blame the other for not wanting to go out on the weekends. It is the definition of "home" and a safe space for both of them. Brittany and Timmy had been talking about getting married for MONTHS before, and as Christmas was approaching, Brittany was getting restless. Timmy is her best friend, and she knew he had something beautiful planned. On New Year's Eve (12.31.23.), Timmy proposed. Well, after Timmy nearly had a heart attack, went shopping for flowers, rosé,chocolates, cleaned the house, dawned the outfit he wore when he first picked her up, lit the fireplace, and jumped around like an ape....he proposed. Brittany, thinking it was a normal day, took FOREVER at the gym, increasing the rising anticipation. She came home unsuspecting (and a bit in denial that IT was happening), to Timmy down on one knee. He proposed to her right in their living room, with a ring passed down from his Nana, newly adorned with emeralds as a loving customization for Brittany. After 10 minutes of giddy screaming, laughing, crying, and saying "YES YES YES, ASK ME AGAIN SO I CAN KEEP SAYING YES!" They finally called everyone to celebrate the news. And now you're here, reading a brief summary of their story. Thank you so much for your love and support. Both Tim and I have received nothing but unconditional love and voices of true happiness for each of us in this relationship, and we really could not be more thankful to you for being here for us. God has blessed us both with the other, and with family and friends like you who are here for us. WE ARE SO EXCITED TO PARTY WITH YOU AND CELEBRATE!! Let's get BYRNE'D!
