Our love story unfolded in the digital age of social media, amidst a global pandemic—yes, we swiped right on each other's profiles on Hinge back in November 2021, and the rest, as they say, is history. But our story isn't confined to the digital realm. Let's rewind to a rainy day in September 2019, in Destin, FL, where fate seemed to lie. At Marlin's Grill, a fan favorite for both our families, Brianna found herself third-wheeling her parents' vacation, on the left side of the bar for Happy Hour. Little did she know, destiny awaited her on the opposite end. Engaging in conversation with a charming couple, they all discovered shared connections—being from up north, living in GA, and children of similar ages. This couple mentioned they had a daughter who was pregnant (at the time) and a son who graduated from Auburn who was living in Atlanta. As the evening wore on, laughter mingled, drinks were flying, and the evening ended exchanging hugs and phone numbers. It was only later revealed that this delightful couple happened to be none other than Sean's parents, a twist of fate that would shape our future. By Brianna and Sean's third date, we were talking about our lives and families and getting to know each other. Sean grew up down the road from Brianna's grandparents, families were members at the same country club, frequently visited the same restaurants, and had the exact same vacation spot in Destin. Sean sounded to good to be true and Brianna had to deep dive into this man. Brianna said to her mom, "Check social media, emails, phone or wherever we might know these people." It was then that she found Nancy and Mark's number saved in her phone. By our fourth date, I told Sean of my discovery and it has been one of our favorite stories to share ever since. We like to call our love FATE. Our lives have crossed so many times growing up in similar circles and it was bound that we ended up meeting. And boy are we glad that it did! If you know us as a couple, you know that we were bound to be together as it feels like we have known each other for ever. To all who have been a part of our journey, we extend our heartfelt gratitude. Your presence has enriched our lives immeasurably, and as we embark on this next chapter, we eagerly anticipate the adventures yet to unfold. Join us in December for what promises to be the celebration of a lifetime—the PARTY OF THE YEAR! With love and gratitude, Brianna and Sean
