We first started dating in December of 2016. Both of us were in high school sports and had busy schedules, but we always seemed to find times during the school day to share a moment together. After high school, we prioritized spending time with both of our families and growing the shared relationships with our friends. Over the years we added two golden retrievers, Aster and Harlow, to our lives. We eventually moved into our first home in the summer of 2023. In May of 2024, Brendan proposed at Brighton Beach! We have dreamed about this day for so long and can't believe it is finally here!
