We met at UConn :) Bryan, a sophomore management major, Maddie a freshman studying physics at the time (that would later change to accounting). We met on Bryan's 20th birthday - which was of course the best birthday gift he could ask for!
Our first boat! We were so proud of ourselves for this impulse purchase on Amazon mid-2020. Bryan made an anchor with an old weight, a rope, and duct tape, was responsible for inflating and assembling, and always did all the paddling. Maddie packed the snacks.
After Bryan graduated we went on a little road trip for 2.5 weeks out to South Dakota. We made it to 20 different states on this trip!
After Maddie graduated we went on our first cruise together to the Caribbean! This was Bryan's first time outside of the US.
We moved in together in the late fall of 2022 :)
We've gone to lots and lots of country concerts together...
... and hiked lots and lots of mountains...
... but this one was definitely our favorite one yet.
Bryan proposed on September 3rd, 2023 at the beautiful Max Patch in Hot Springs, North Carolina
We can't wait for our story to continue as husband and wife :)
