Brian and Sydney started dating on June 1st, 2016 when they were both still young teens wandering the halls of Alton Highschool. They continued dating and growing together for the six years that would follow. They graduated highschool, they started school at different universities, they had several different jobs (and even worked together at Kilwins for several years!), they moved in together, they experienced loss, heartache, joy, success, and every other thing two people can experience together and they continued to choose one another all along the way. All of these moments were leading up to the special day that Brian asked Sydney to marry him - May 16th, 2022. He asked her under the St. Louis Gateway Arch and they were accompanied by their many friends who celebrated with them afterward. Their relationship blesses and inspires everyone who knows them and their wedding day will be a celebration of a genuine and unbreakable partnership. We hope you can join the Neal and Formea family on December 16th, 2023 in celebrating the official union of Sydney and Brian.
