"When Taylor Swift's romantic anthem 'Love Story' debuted in 2008, Brian and Kevin were still searching for their own tale of love—a kind and committed Romeo in a world full of snakes and casual encounters. Like most modern romances, theirs began with a dating app: a simple swipe on Bumble in 2022 set in motion their very own fairytale. After kissing one too many frogs, a flick of the digital wand created a spark that quickly ignited their deep and meaningful connection. As their new relationship flourished, Brian and Kevin’s protective friends gradually warmed up to the idea of two kind-hearted, generous, and loving individuals finding a deserving partner in each other.

Looking back, their connection was clear from the first date—no mind games, no insecurities—just endless conversation, showtunes, zombie movies, and steak tips. They knew immediately that this time, it was different. This was special. Their trust, love, respect, and comfort grew through shared experiences, adventures, and interests. From their careers in health care to their love of video games and supernatural movies—Brian and Kevin’s lives fit together like perfect puzzle pieces. They both love quiet nights at home cuddling their dog, watch parties, game nights, and thrilling weekend escapes! Everything just works. Any effort required is always worth it. It just makes sense to spend the rest of their lives together, alongside Teddy.

The question of a lifetime was popped during the excitement of a Taylor Swift concert, as Kevin “just said yes” to Brian’s promise that they would never have to be alone. Brian and Kevin are thrilled to have their loved ones join them next fall for an enchanting and intimate celebration of their love."
