We first met in 2011, and spent time together as our families were friends. The story actually began in 2016 when we began spending more time together as Brianne spent time helping Benjamin with homework. Fast forward through graduations, Brianne moving to Pittsburgh, friends getting married, and work; and we truly realized we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together. On the sunny, Sunday morning of October 15th, 2024, Benjamin invited Brianne to go for a walk in the wildflower garden in his family's woods. There, he asked her to spend the rest of eternity with him, and she said yes!
