Brian and Mariana met in May of 2022 at a dive bar on Fort Lauderdale beach, Blondies. Through a mutual friend, they were both out to celebrate Memorial Day weekend, and celebrate they did. After a month of chatting only through texts and social media, they decided to go on their first official date. Mariana, bringing along her dog Buddy, quickly won Brian over. It was clear that Brian was smitten with Buddy and the only way to keep him for himself, was by keeping Mariana as well.

A little over a month later, Brian and Mariana found themselves once again at Fort Lauderdale beach, but this time as boyfriend and girlfriend and with a new member of their family as well, Flyer. Enjoying a life full of adventures and moments with their dogs, they knew they had something special together. And despite the challenges they've come to face, they've found that every sacrifice is worth the love and bond that has grown for one another through their resilience.

A little over two years later, during a Christmas trip to New York City, Brian finally proposed to Mariana in Central Park, ending one chapter of their love story and beginning another, this chapter.

To everyone who has witnessed our love story and been apart of this journey, we sincerely thank you!
