In May of 2018 they embarked on a trip with friends to Las Vegas, NV. Having only met once before, Brendan was a bit nervous when Ariele came to pick him up for the airport in her little red Prius. It was not until the second day on their trip that Ariele finally warmed up to him. Needless to say lasting memories were made and when they returned home, it was clear that a new love had been born. They have gone on to spend nearly every day together since and would not have it any other way!

With some help from friends and family, Brendan got down on a knee and asked Ariele to marry him at the Ocean Edge Resort in Brewster, MA.
