Brian and Sophia’s story began in an unexpected way—through their shared love of volleyball. She was 18, and he was 35, but their connection transcended any differences. At the time, neither was looking for a relationship, both seeing other people. But as their friendship grew, something deeper began to form.


 Then they reconnected 4 years later. 


 Sophia quickly developed a crush on Brian, someone who seemed out of reach but was always kind and supportive. She’d call him occasionally about volleyball details or ask if he could walk her into the gym. After each game, she'd hang out with the boys, getting to know his circle, all while their bond deepened quietly, naturally.



 One night, after a volleyball session, Brian left the gym, but something tugged at him. He turned around, drove back to the gym, and pulled into the parking lot just to say a simple goodbye to Sophia. And in that brief moment, when their hands brushed, it was as if time stood still. That touch sparked something neither of them could ignore—the undeniable beginning of something more.



 Soon, they were texting each other more frequently, sharing everything—hopes, dreams, the stories of their lives. Their late-night conversations on the Eastern Prom by the gazebo stretched until 11:30 pm, where they sat together, opening up, connecting, and learning about each other. Their values, their family-centered lives, their dreams collided in the most beautiful way, and suddenly, the age gap felt insignificant. They had something real, something profound.



 On December 18th, 2023, they began their journey together, and from that moment, they became inseparable. Their love grew stronger through adventures and shared moments—like trips to the Virgin Islands with friends, and volleyball in San Diego. It was clear: what they had was forever.



 On November 18th, 2024, in Montreal, with the clock tower and Ferris wheel in the background, Brian proposed to Sophia. It was a simple, perfect moment that felt like the natural next step in their journey.



 Now, here they are—dreaming, planning, and looking forward to their future together. As they step into this new chapter, they are filled with excitement and love, eager to have everyone they care about join them on this beautiful journey.
