We met in Denver, Colorado in March of 2020. We had been on one date, shared one takeout night, and spent St. Patrick's day weekend with Brian's friends before the pandemic disrupted everyone's lives.

We both work in healthcare, so our jobs were effectively shut down by the announcement of this crazy virus. With our newly found free time, we were able to spend a lot of time together and get to know each other much more quickly. They say the lockdown had the ability to either make or break a relationship, and we decided that we liked one another's company. To be honest, it was Brian's goofy pup, Tasman (a.k.a. Taz), who stole Brianna's heart. ;)

In the summer of 2020, Brianna visited Montana for the first time and spent the week out at Brian's family cabin on Flathead Lake, a very special place to him. Flathead is a Minnesota lake on steroids, with the crystal clear water and mountain landscapes surrounding the lake. Brianna fell in love with this slice of heaven and they would make it a tradition to return for "family lake week" every summer from then on.

Over the next few years, we shared countless adventures and made lasting memories. Trips to Breckenridge and Vail, seeing our first concert together, going on our first vacation out of the country as a couple, and moving in together to name a few.

On April 9, 2023 ("Masters Sunday"), Brian asked Brianna to marry him while vacationing in Jamaica. She said yes! We decided we wanted to get married surrounded by the mountains near Brian's hometown of Missoula, Montana.

We feel so blessed to be surrounded with endless examples of strong, enduring, and loving relationships. We can't wait to share our special day with you, our family and friends, who we love and admire so much.
