I first met Brian at Dragon King’s Daughter when he was bartending. We had a very long conversation about him never having seen the movie “The Fifth Element.” Mind you, Brian had actually seen it and hated it, but because I said I liked it, he thought it would be better to lie. I was a couple drinks in and not very subtle in my flirtation and ended up asking for his number. We saw a movie for our first date and the rest is history. The funny thing is after a couple dates Brian admitted to me that he had seen me once before back in 2012 when I was just 20 years old. He had asked his friend who I was, but was told that I was dating someone so he never spoke to me. I still think its crazy we found our way back to each other 4 years later.

Brian and I were in Thousand Islands Park, NY for a romantic week long getaway. Two days into the trip we took a short boat ride to Boldt Castle on Heart Island. Brian was adamant that we needed to get to the top of the castle to look out onto the water. When we got to the third floor balcony I turned to take a photo of the castle and when I turned around Brian was down on one knee with an open ring box. He then said, “Do you want this?” (Yeah hes really good with words). I of course, burst into tears and said yes! He then realized he did not ask the right question and then asked, “oh wait, do you want to marry me?” And of course, I said yes again. ❤️💍
