Brigham and Carly met on September 17, 2023, in San Francisco, California. Their first date began with a glass of wine at Novelas and ended hours later, sitting in Union Square until nearly midnight, completely lost in conversation. When Carly walked away from that evening, she felt an unexpected sadness realizing that she’d likely never see Brigham again. But just two days later, a surprise bouquet of flowers arrived at Carly’s office (plot twist!), with a note signed by one single mysterious letter… “B”. And just like that, “B” ruined Carly’s whole plan of forgetting about the charming Australian that she left in San Francisco. Living over 7,000 miles apart (Brigham in Australia and Carly in California), the odds may not have been in their favor, but love had other plans. Since the day they met, Carly and Brigham have spoken on the phone every single day, without exception. Over the course of their relationship, Carly has flown to Australia five times, and Brigham boards a 14-hour flight every 6–8 weeks to be with her in California. Despite the distance, they’ve never missed a weekend together, spending countless hours on FaceTime movie nights, virtual paint-and-sip dates, and somehow turning two wildly different time zones into one shared life. What started as a serendipitous meeting in Union Square has grown into a love that spans continents. And now, they can’t wait to begin the next chapter of their story, together.
