Once upon a time, at the start of sophomore year at the University of Rhode Island (2012), Stephanie was introduced to Brian by a mutual friend. While most fairytales would include love at first sight, this story has a little twist. After meeting, Stephanie and Brian never spoke or saw each other again until the fall of 2013. October 2013, fitting every stereotype of their generation, Brian slid into Stephanie’s DM’s on Twitter to invite her to a Halloween party. Following this, Stephanie and Brian attended several Halloween parties together and spent every second they could together. Fast forward to November 17th, Brian officially asked Stephanie to be his girlfriend. As fate would have it, November 17th is a very special day for Stephanie because it is her Nan’s birthday, so Stephanie has always believed that her Nan helped guide her to Brian, her Prince Charming. Since then Brian and Stephanie have had many adventures together which include: graduating from URI in 2015, 4 trips to Disney World (Brian took Stephanie on her first trip to Disney in 2015), two fur babies: Kovu and Kiara, moving into their first apartment in 2017, and last but not least, spending every day falling more in love. On September 8, 2018, at sunset, while vacationing in Hawaii, Brian led Stephanie to a secret beach, where he nervously got down on one knee and tearfully said, “Stephanie Marie Nacci, no matter where we travel, you are my greatest adventure. Will you be my happily ever after? Will you marry me?” 💍❤️
