Brendan and Bri met in Flagstaff, Arizona where they both attended college at NAU. They were both working at forest highlands country club where they quickly became friends and spent nights on the town with their friends and coworkers.


Bri had plans to move to Colorado following graduation, and wasn’t looking for anything serious when the two started spending more time together. Brendan ignored this, and bought a plane ticket to Denver to visit her about a week after she left.


The connection between the two was undeniable and things quickly became more serious. Brendan moved to Denver where he completed his internship for his last semester of college.


The two built a wonderful life there together where they adopted their first child (a labradoodle puppy named Lucy), created amazing friendships, snowboarded, and began their careers.


After a great run in Colorado but many flights to and from Arizona and homesick nights; the two decided they wanted to pack up and move closer to their families.


In February of 2024 they moved back to Brendan’s hometown of Gilbert, Arizona, where they bought Brendan’s childhood home.


A few months later, Brendan asked Bri to marry him and it was the easiest yes of her life!


They have been loving being back in the desert and being able to spend so much time with their families. Together they enjoy swimming, riding bikes, cheering on their sports teams, and trying new restaurants.


They can’t wait to celebrate their love story alongside all of their favorite people in November!
