Brian and Jamie first connected online when Jamie returned to Philadelphia after several years in Virginia. Brian took the initiative to plan their first date at The Lombard Cafe, where they coincidentally both showed up wearing pink shirts! This unexpected matching attire led to a shared laugh and an instant connection, confirming what they had secretly suspected all along: they were destined to be together.

During their vacation in Sea Isle City, on a sunny July 4th morning, Brian proposed during a surprise beach walk! They were both dressed in beachwear, coffees in hand, with Jamie wanting nothing more than a quick breakfast at The Pier. Little did Jamie know, Brian had something special in mind. He led her to a secluded spot in Townsends Inlet, where he proposed with the words "Marry Me" etched in the sand, surrounded by a heart of rose petals, romantic music playing, and a ring box resting on seashells. With an astonished "YES!" by Jamie, their love story took on a new exciting chapter, as if it had been destined all along.
