Bevin and I are two Rhode Islandah’s that had to fly 1,433 miles just to meet and fall in love! We’re both in the United States Army and we deployed to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Bevin will always start our story by saying “Well, I was her boss and that’s why she fell for me.” *Insert eye roll here.* The truth is, we are soul mates and we would’ve fallen in love somehow, some way no matter what. We really started connecting over some homemade lasagna and star-gazing in the back of Bevin’s old 1986 pickup truck. It was just love after that! We found ourselves asking our supervisors to team us up for work, and that quickly became spending every day off together adventuring around Cuba. We often joke about how crazy it is that we lived just a few miles apart nearly our entire lives, but only met in Cuba. Perfect timing. We’d love to share our HILARIOUS proposal story with you, so please ask when you see us!
