We met at a volleyball open gym at MSU. Bree's roommate at the time, Bentley, invited her to go with her to play volleyball. Vlad was there. He then followed Bree on Instagram and continued to message her "only to invite her to the future open gyms." ;) We continued to play more volleyball together. After a few weeks, Vlad asked for Bree's phone number. They eventually started spending time together outside of volleyball, and the rest is history! :)

Vlad informed Bree he had made dinner reservations at the Ozark Mill for that evening for a date night. Bree and Vlad showed up to the Ozark Mill a little early and started walking around the grounds enjoying the weather and views. They went up over the bridge and turned the corner to find a ton of red rose petals shaped into a heart on the ground with the words "Marry Me" spelled out. Vlad walked Bree up to the middle of the heart and went down on one knee. <3
