Wedding Weekend Details

Three years ago, Morgan and Brittany met in New York City after she decided to take a last-minute girls' trip with one of her best friends, Alyssa (she literally booked the flight the night before). Morgan was on a boys' trip with his roommate at the time, Jake. They met each other at a friend of a friend’s apartment in downtown Manhattan. Coincidentally, he happened to be from Fort Lauderdale, and she happened to be from Tampa. From day one, they never had to pretend to be anyone but themselves. They have always made each other feel safe, secure, and loved. Three years later, they are engaged! That pretty much sums up their story, in case you were wondering why their engagement photos are in the streets of NYC.
