It all started back in April of 2021 when Brianna and Lucas matched on the app Hinge. Lucas was living in Utica and Brianna was living in Syracuse. Brianna had set her location to reach only 20 miles from where she was living. Some people would say it's a glitch but others call it fate because Lucas popped on Brianna's profile even though he was way further than 20 miles! Of course he "liked" a prompt on Brianna's profile that mentioned loving breweries, ice cream, and adventure. So this led to their first date at a brewery called Meier's Creek. On the first date, the two hit it off right away. They shared common interests and quickly realized how compatible they were! The two went on several more dates until they became an official couple in May of 2021. Bri made it very clear she didn't want a long distance relationship, so Lucas moved to Cazenovia to be closer her! Bri quickly learned that Lucas had a second love.... food! Lucas always told Bri to try new things. If you didn't hear Lucas say "mmmm" to a meal, you will instantly know that something isn't right... which doesn't happen often! In Germany, Lucas really pushed Bri out of her comfort zone to eat foods she'd never imagined having. For example, eel, liverwurst, bratwurst, currywurst, and schnitzel. As a matter fact, Bri's tastebuds agreed and she loved every second of trying new foods. If you are around Bri, you know how much of a social butterfly and planner she is. She is not the type to sit down or relax...even on a rainy day! She is always up to whatever adventure there may be whether it's just the two of them or with family and friends! You could say Bri is quite the extrovert, which quickly rubbed off on Lucas! After a year, the two decided to move to Rochester! This is a place Bri has wanted to live for years. Lucas was able to transfer his location with HCR and Bri went on many interviews until she landed a new teaching position at East Rochester. A month after being in Rochester, Lucas popped the big question at Bri's aunt and uncle's house. A week later, Bri and Lucas started the planning of the big day! We are so excited and happy to continue our lives together by each other’s side.
