We met in 2014 while I was a student at Saint Mary's College and Brian was getting his MBA from the University of Notre Dame. During our first date in South Bend, we talked for hours getting to know each other and discovered quickly we had a lot more in common than we thought. Whether it was learning of our mutual friends or finding out we both loved cheering on our favorite hometown sports teams, we both knew this was the start of something special. Years later, Brian moved to Boston after graduating from Notre Dame and spent summers with my family on Cape Cod. After countless memories together on the East Coast, we moved to Cleveland where Brian's from and started our next chapter. Eventually, we became dog parents to our Golden Retriever Hayes and moved into our first house, which is where Brian proposed with the help of Hayes. While our journey is only just beginning, we're so excited to celebrate our special day with you and make memories together that will last a lifetime.
