Welcome to our love story

Brianna saw the SBU athletics twitter post the new incoming recruits for the men's soccer team. She saw a picture of Richard and told her roommate, "I call dibs." Brianna was instantly physically attracted to Richard, so attracted that she went on Facebook and added Richard, a total stranger at the time. Brianna made sure to add to her information that she went to SBU so the random friend request wouldn't be AS weird. To her surprise, Richard accepted her friend request on Facebook. A few weeks later, fate happened. Brianna's class got cancelled so she decided to go to lunch early. As soon as she walked in, she saw Richard sitting at the soccer table, he was visiting to see the campus. Brianna instantly got nervous and sweaty as she saw the cute guy she added on Facebook. Brianna tried to get the courage to approach Richard but was too nervous. She decided to message him on Facebook, saying she thought she saw him on campus and wanted to know if it was actually him. From there on, they messaged everyday and eventually started FaceTiming. They talked and video chatted all summer. When it came time for Brianna to fly back to Missouri, Richard picked her up from the airport and that was the first time they met in person. The next day Richard asked Brianna to be his girlfriend on August 10, 2016.
