How Tara & Brian Met

Tara and Brian met the modern way, by swiping right in February 2017. She winked at him, he winked back, and the first date was set on February 16th, 2017. They met at The Wolfhound, a local Irish pub in Astoria. Conversation flowed so easily, it took them a half hour of chit chat before they realized drinks hadn’t even been ordered. After a round of drinks and a stroll to the nearest sushi spot, the foundation was set for a second date. Tara and Brian continued growing their relationship through a plethora of activities and experiences. They went to concerts, breweries, sporting events, cooking classes, became foodies, and took road trips to numerous cities - Newport, Portland, and Philly to name a few. They met each other’s family, and although very different family upbringings, it was clear that family was going to be deeply seeded in their DNA. Growing up on Long Island, Tara was always a beach girl. Brian, a Westchester native, always grew up by his family lake house. Even though they loved different things, they learned to appreciate the finer things of each. Fast forward to September 2019. They move in together in their Astoria apartment, things are going great. 6 months later, the 2020 pandemic hit. Their relationship took off as they never felt closer. At this point, Brian knew that it was time to take the next step in their relationship. Brian’s sister Katie, asked Tara and Brian to join her and her fiancé, Charlie, to New Years Eve 2020 at their New Jersey house. This opened up an opportunity to pop the question. Katie and Charlie helped Brian plan out a romantic moment under the starry night of the post-New Years celebration. Brian got down on one knee and asked Tara to marry him. Tara was completely struck by a moment of shock and disbelief. She eventually said yes, and they all popped more bubbly to celebrate the occasion. Now, they are excited to share their special day with all of their friends and family.
