Our story began at LIU Brooklyn, where we formed a friendship that would last a lifetime. Our love story officially began 2.7.2017 when we realized we couldn’t live without each other!

It all happened when Brittany and Rafael revisited a pier in Mexico they discovered three years earlier on their first vacation as a couple... They visited Cancun back in 2017 where they exchanged "I love you" for the first time. While there, they took a walk down the beach to a pier, where Brittany saw a lighthouse in the distance and insisted on venturing to it... About two hours into the walk, the lighthouse was still far ahead, so they decided to turn back. It was a lasting joke that they never made it to the lighthouse. Their walks on the beach now end at that pier instead, where they admire the views ahead of them together. It makes perfect sense that Rafael chose this special place to get down on one knee! Not only was the lighthouse visible in the distance that day, but it's where the vision of together forever was brought to life!
