How Two Became One
Brien & Sydney's lives have always seemed destined to intertwine - from Sydney growing up knowing and loving Brien's grandma, Diane at New Day Spa Salon - to their families sitting near each other countless times during mass, they always seemed to "know of each other". As they grew older, life floated them together through mutual friends, events and places until they eventually met at a party in January of 2018. As the story goes, Sydney made the first move and let Brien know she wanted to continue talking throughout the new year. Believe it or not, they haven't stopped talking since that moment! Navigating through a long distance relationship for four years taught them how to love, grow and support each other through such pivotal years, and how to find comfort in the uncertainty of what comes next for them. They can't wait to celebrate 7 years together in June, and cheers to their future with all of you this summer!
