Our story began back on Labor Day weekend in 2018. We met at our friend's cottage in Grand Rapids, Ohio (shoutout to Cole and Marisa McClary). After only hanging out for only one night, Sidney and her friends headed back to Ashland, while Brian and the boys stayed at the cottage. Within a day, we began talking and two weeks later Brian was en route to Ashland to spend homecoming weekend and meet Sidney's parents for the first time.

We spent the next eight months traveling to and from schools to visit each other as much as possible during our senior year. After graduation, we endured long distance while Sidney lived in Canton and Brian back in Buffalo. We survived months without seeing each other, making our time together that much more special.

Fast forward to September 2020 when Sidney decided to take a huge leap and move to Buffalo while Brian finished grad school. Since then, we've spent time living in North Buffalo and Lancaster, making many memories along the way. We are excited to enter this next chapter of our lives and look forward to celebrating our special day with our friends and loved ones!
