After a deployment to Qatar, Bryan decided to join Roxette’s brother, Walliot, and several other co-workers on a trip to Puerto Rico. Roxette was interested in seeing her brother while he was on the island, and this is how Bryan first met Roxette. The encounter was only a few minutes. The real matchmaker was Katalina, Roxette’s Toy Yorkie. While Roxette talked to her brother, Bryan played with the dog. Earlier that day, Walliot used Bryan’s cellphone to call his sister, and this is how Bryan got Roxette’s phone number. Bryan couldn’t stop thinking about Roxette’s cute little dog, so he decided to psycho text and call Roxette. That’s how everything started… four weeks later, Bryan was back in Puerto Rico, but this time it was not for an all guy trip… He went back to spend time with Katalina… eventually falling in love with Roxette. Just kidding! During that trip Bryan attempted to invite Roxette to join him and the other guys on a tourist excursion, but she had to work. Later Roxette returned his calls, but he had already left Puerto Rico. That first phone call ended up being enough to spark the loving relationship that you will soon celebrate as they join in marriage.

In march 2018, Bryan and Roxette planned a trip to Disney World and Universal Studios. They flew from Dallas to Orlando, but when they arrived, Bryan surprised Roxette with another flight to Puerto Rico. He told her they were going to see her grandfather who was dying. When they arrived, insted of heading towards the hospital where her grandfather was being treated, Bryan told Roxette to close her eyes. Bryan swept Roxette away in her old car that he had hidden at the airport. When she opened her eyes, she found herself in the exact spot within the botanical garden where they had their first date almost a year earlier. He had asked Roxette’s friends and family to be waiting for them. When the lovers arrived, the accomplices remained hidden until Bryan popped the question. They all had flowers and balloons and celebrated the fact that SHE SAID YES! Bryan had made reservations at Roxette’s favorite restaurant and after spending a lovely evening together, the newly engaged went to visit Roxette’s grandfather without knowing it would be the last time she would see him. Despite the very emotional visit, Bryan and Roxette continued their journey and made it to Disney World/ Universal Studios. Without a doubt, it was a fun, memorable, and magical engagement trip.
