It all began on a whimsical Saint Patrick's Day weekend in Ocean City, MD. Amidst a day filled with green beer, shamrocks, and lively shenanigans, we found ourselves on the "drunk" bus, headed home. Sitting across from each other, we exchanged compliments on our clever Saint Patty's Day shirts, sparking an instant connection and flirtatious banter.

For the next three years, we navigated a long-distance relationship, living two hours apart between Maryland and Pennsylvania. During this time, we built a strong foundation of friendship and partnership, cherishing every moment we could spend together.

As our bond grew stronger, closing the gap between us became a priority. Stephanie made the move to Pennsylvania, and after a year, we moved in together, solidifying our commitment to each other.

Recognizing the fun and craziness of our first meeting, Brian chose the perfect moment to propose. On Saint Patrick's Day weekend of 2024, he popped the question on the very same OC bus where it all began.

We've created an incredible life together, surrounded by our grown children, friends, and family. As we embark on this new chapter, we are excited to see where the rest of our story takes us.

Thank you for your thoughtfulness, family and friends! The gift of your presence is more than enough.
