It all started in 2014. Brittney, who was in Toronto from New York for the Caribana (West Indian parade), crossed paths with Marty. He was hanging with his buddies aka "The Unit," when their first brief encounter took place at a cottage. No sparks flying... just a quick "hey" and that was it. The next year, Marty decided to tag along with friends to New York for Brittney’s birthday. They explored the city, laughed over buckets of Heinekens and then celebrated at a night club in Queens. The weekend came to an end and the distance started to feel real, and it STUNG! They exchanged BBMs and tried to keep in touch, but communication started to fade. 2016 was the year that changed it all! Marty was back in New York for one day on a work trip and thought of Brittney. He reached out and they met up on Austin Street for more buckets of Heinekens. The next day was supposed to be Marty’s flight back home, but a twist of fate kept him in the city. So, of course, he called Brittney. This time, it was lunch at Red Lobster, a pit stop at Cold Stone for Brittney's favorite ice cream, and then a bar crawl through the Lower East Side with Brittney’s sister. The vibe was real and deep, and it was like no time had passed since the first time they met. The night of July 18, 2016, Marty asked Brittney to be his girlfriend and to take on a long distance relationship. In the 8 years since then, their life has been an amazing adventure, full of laughter, love and unforgettable moments. They've traveled whenever possible and now live happily in Michigan. They are ready to share this love and incredible journey with the people who mean the most to them!
