Our Story

The week before Christmas, we were both invited to a joint ugly sweater party at Tin Roof in Westport. Before Kealee even made it to the bar, she was introduced to a group of people — one of them being Brian. His opening line? “What are your top three favorite Christmas movies?” (Because, according to Brian, there's no better way to learn a lot about someone.) Little did we know, that simple question would be the start of our story. Also little did we know… Kealee’s answers were apparently wrong — and she’s been hearing about it ever since. Don’t worry, Brian has made it his annual holiday mission to “refine” her Christmas movie opinions every year. That same night, our friend Ashley — with a little help from Jordan — decided to play matchmaker and asked each of us what we thought of the other. Brian came across as the nice guy striking up conversation, and in true Kealee fashion, all the flirting went flying right over her head. The next day, Brian followed Kealee on Instagram and promptly slid into her DMs — smooth, right? One message led to another, and soon we were on our first date at Charlie Hooper’s in Brookside during a Bills game (you know, the unforgettable one where a player collapsed on the field — talk about first-date charm). But we took it in stride — a characteristic that has helped define who we are. Since that night, we’ve shared countless adventures, laughs, and milestones — including learning the joys of being Max and Mazy's parents (if you know, you know). Now, we can’t wait to start our biggest adventure yet: getting married! And yes, Brian still teases Kealee about her original “Top 3 Christmas Movies” list every single year.
