Brian and Daniel met online, and after a first date of lunch and a movie (Deadpool 2), they became inseparable.

They quickly shared and embraced their loves of board games, travel, creating, and celebrating for any reason.

They started traditions across their home in Houston like attending zoo lights, running races downtown, and cheering on the Astros. They also explored a national park together for the first time, Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

They found countless reasons to celebrate like trips to the hill country for Daniel's birthday, weddings of close friends, and cat birthdays.

They dressed up for every occasion from Taylor Swift concerts, canyon weddings, 5/10Ks, and walking in the Houston Pride Parade.

They traveled farther and farther from home, becoming experts at trips that land in one airport and somehow return from another.

When visiting Daniel's favorite places in the world, Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, Brian proposed after a hike along the Yellowstone Canyon at Point Sublime! They celebrated immediately by becoming Junior Park Rangers.

While looking forward to their wedding on 07.05.2025, Brian and Daniel haven't stopped exploring and celebrating wherever they are.
