Many people may not know that Brian and I technically dated twice. We first met in 2019 and went on a few short dates - but the timing wasn't right. A few years later I decided to get back into dating apps, while simultaneously thinking that if I ever met another person like Brian again I would not let him go. Thankfully, Brian was the second person I matched with - and here we are today! - Mary In the cold depths of a Wisconsin winter, I met a kindness and warmth in a Brady St. restaurant that made a lasting impression to this day. From Mary and my first date, I was enamored and knew there was a potential I had to pursue. Through patience, perseverance, and a pandemic, we were able to reconnect and haven’t looked back. We are so excited to share our lives and build a family together. - Brian

One day near our 2 year anniversary date, Brian took me on a trip down memory lane. We traveled to places like where we had our first date, where we both first lived when we met, and our favorite coffee shop - all the way talking about how we felt during these monumental moments/places in our relationship. Then he took me to the end of the jetty on Lake Michigan to create our new memory - the proposal! We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in June!
