Delaney and Brendan's enchanting love story began during the summer of 2017, a time when they both worked as diligent beach lifeguards in Virginia Beach, where Delaney, determined to achieve the ultimate sun-kissed glow, practically made friends with every ray of sunlight. Meanwhile, Brendan, armed with his trusty whistle, approached his lifeguard duties with the solemnity of a superhero, ensuring no beachgoer ventured too far from shore.

The serendipitous moment that set their romance in motion occurred when Delaney, suddenly struck by shyness, spotted a charming boy, Brendan, in distinctive red lifeguard shorts passing her stand. Overcoming her nervousness for her, Delaney's best friend and now Maid of Honor, Hayley, seized the opportunity and called Brendan over to their lifeguard stand to strike up conversation. Little did they know, this seemingly casual introduction would become the starting point for an enduring love story for years to come.

Let us fast forward to the magical proposal orchestrated by Brendan, who was determined to make the occasion as extraordinary as their relationship. Seeking the expertise of jeweler and good friend, Andrea Ryan, he carefully selected the most exquisite diamonds to fashion Delaney's breathtaking engagement ring. Brendan's grand gesture continued with a surprise trip to the United Kingdom in February of 2023. Delaney, who had never ventured beyond the United States, was elated. Unbeknownst to her, the trip held an even more significant surprise - a proposal on the iconic punting boats in Cambridge. The picturesque river meandering through historic Cambridge University served as the backdrop for a truly surreal and magical moment. To capture every nuance of this special occasion, Brendan arranged for a private photographer to discreetly document the proposal from another punting boat, alongside Delaney's oldest sister, Kaylie, who she hadn't seen in almost two years, ready to pop up out of the boat when Delaney said 'yes'.

Now, after 6 years of evolving from friends to soulmates, Delaney and Brendan eagerly anticipate the commencement of their next chapter together - marriage!
