Brianna was visiting one of her best friends from college, Michelle, who was living in Hawaii. They had a fun week while Michelle played tour guide. Michelle organized a boat day with some of her friends on island. This is where Bri and Eric first met, but they actually didn't really talk this day. It was the following weekend when they went to a concert with Michelle's friends that Eric and Bri hit it off. They talked all night and got to know each other. Unfortunately Bri's flight home was the next morning, but that didn't mean they had to stop talking. Bri and Eric texted and Facetimed each other daily, for months, until they decided it was time to declare their feelings for each other and reunite. Bri flew to Hawaii (without really telling anyone) for 4 days to see Eric. Yes I know, two 10+ hour flights for such a short time sounds crazy, but that was all that was needed to solidify what they were feeling for each other. This is when they officially started dating. A month later Eric visited Bri in Boston. She introduced him to all of her people (sorry Eric I know that was a lot of people to meet in 2 days), and showed him her life there. When Eric left, they were long distance for 2.5 months. On August 8th, 2023 Bri made the move to Oahu. It felt scary, but at the same time, it felt right. Bri & Eric are now living their perfect dreamy little island life. They share an apartment in Honolulu, with a view of Diamond Head, and the beach a 10 minute walk away. Hawaii means so much to them. It is where they met, where they fell in love, and where they got engaged. The big scary move wasn't so scary after all. It was meant to be :)
