Brandon and Maureen's love story began early in their college days at UCF, sparked by a formal event that unexpectedly brought them together. Little did they know then that they were destined to be each other's soulmates. Although their initial romance lasted only two months, they both felt they were too young and not yet prepared for what the future held. Over the years, they stayed in touch and got to know each other better as they pursued their individual paths. In 2020, amidst Covid-19, they found themselves back in their hometowns where they grew up only minutes apart from each other. Maureen, intrigued by Brandon's at-home Covid workouts posted on social media, found herself in his DM's inquiring about an Egozi gym membership :) This sparked renewed conversations and memories of their shared past. Despite Brandon still technically living in Jacksonville, their connection remained strong, fueled by Maureen's thoughtful Spotify playlists that the Egozi family would always listen to, not knowing who the creator behind them was! It wasn't until 2022 that their stars aligned once again. Brandon returned home and immediately embarked on a summer journey to Israel. Although he missed Maureen on her trip there by just two days, the experience left him with a profound sense of connection and clarity. Determined to prioritize their relationship upon his return, Brandon planned a long awaited date with Maureen. When Brandon picked Maureen up for their date, a special moment unfolded... She noticed the pendant on his necklace, a gift from his mother that was purchased in Israel, turned out to be the Cohen prayer (Birkat Hakohanim)—a symbol of faith and destiny. From that moment, they both knew that the time was finally right for them. Years of personal growth and life experiences had led them back to each other, culminating in a deep and meaningful relationship that was meant to be. Their journey together continues to be marked by the unwavering belief that they are truly each other's forever.
