"There are two big days in any love story: the day you meet the girl of your dreams and the day you marry her." ~ Ted Mosby, How I Met Your Mother While both working the Field to Feast event, Brian saw Heather from across the field. He was intrigued and felt compelled to meet her. He watched her all night and built up enough courage to go over to her event table before leaving for the evening. Heather saw Brian walk up to the table and took the opportunity to introduce herself. As he approach, she stuck out her hand right in his face and said, “Hi Chef Brian! I’m Heather Holmes.” Over the next 10 months, Brian and Heather occassionally crossed paths, until finally, Brian sent her an email in December. Heather immediately responded and the two began emailing back and forth until Heather finally sent him a text. After that initial text, everything imaginable was discussed, such as traveling, blueberry pie, Batman, Newton Running Shoes, cheese doodles, hot dogs and family. Over time, Heather and Brian became travel companions, best friends and partners in crime. After 2 years and 11 months of adventure, laughter and friendship, Brian surprised Heather with a trip to Naples, Florida. Heather, being the planner and control freak, was in sheer panic on the long drive. Brian proposed on the beach, during the red tide and cloudy sunset, at the Ritz Carlton.
