Brian and Laura had the good fortune of meeting in 2013 when she walked into the Ravenswood Chase Bank and needed a banker who understood what a client service expert would require from someone in client service. Over the next four years he never floundered; whether it was figuring out how to wire money to secure an art piece from Paris or secure Argentinian pesos just in the knick of time for travel. When she learned of his recent promotion that would put him directly across the street from her office on Michigan Avenue, she felt the need to be the “welcome to downtown committee”. Upon learning about his passion for all things Santa Magical Christmas, she extended an invite to be his ambassador to the Annual Christkindlemarket in the Loop. Due to a scheduling mix up, their first date ended up being a dinner with some of Laura’s dear friends. Brian passed the pre-interview with flying colors however, it was on their second date where he made the strongest impression. It was then and there that she was convinced this was the guy she wanted to experience every European Christmas Market with for the rest of her life.
