Both raised in Cranston on opposite sides of Park, it took a nonprofit coffee house at URI with thrifted 90's furniture and mediocre coffee to bring us together. Friends first, we had an undeniable spark that we knew and our friends knew was special. But before we took the long haul leap we needed to find "us". How could we fully love each other if we did not fully love ourselves? We listened, we gave opinions, we made each others priorities ours, we were there for each other through the best of times and the worst of times, we lived in different states, traveled and pushed each other to be the version of ourselves we knew we wanted to be. One night after Brianna moved back from New York she was sitting watching SVU with her grandmother talking about modern dating and its highs and lows when Ev stopped her and said "How is Eric? I like him!" Well, if Ev approved that was special! The rest is history! After living in a van and not killing each other, we knew we could make this forever-ever.

Exactly how you would have imagined... Brianna rushed home in the middle of a panic attack asking Eric to sit down so they could have a serious conversation about the future. Eric was planning on proposing at some point but had not figured out when until this very moment. He then put his nice pants on and grabbed a ring box out of his backpack.
