We met the summer of 2018 on Grove Ave in Flourtown. The summer of 2018 flew by and we were inseparable. Fall rolled around and by the end of the season we were officially dating by November 18th.

Our first year was filled with several major events including a few weddings where David quickly passed all my friends' approval. His dance moves are what won over the friends and we cannot disagree he has some moves...does Miller Lite sponsor any dance teams?? We had set a goal of once together for a year together we would move in together, and it was an easy decision we would settle in Wyndmoor.

Once we settled into our apartment in November 2019, few short months later the pandemic started. We were lucky to say we survived living together! Our blessing was David career of being a full time front line worker. This opened up our relationship to valuing date nights and weekend adventures. Before we knew it we had reached four years together.

Four years felt like a lifetime already and the pandemic was wrapping up which meant the long overdue family reunion on the Brierley side was possible! Ireland was a huge bucket list trip for myself and a trip David promised would happen one day. Fast forward from 2019 when David's cousin Jess and dad threw out the idea of a reunion to 2022, plane tickets booked and the trip was happening.

Ireland is and was everything I heard. When we first arrived to Ireland David and I took a walk through Cobh. We took a moment to see St. Colman's Cathedral. I was told many stories of the cathedral's beauty and the view from its lookout over the harbor. No pictures will do justice of its beauty!

The day after the reunion was a day where you felt sicker than a dog and even the mindset of "hair of the dog" couldn't keep us going. Now the food is a different story! We grabbed a late lunch and before we knew it the evening plans were starting soon. We ended up taking the walk by the cathedral on our way home. The view at night is just as magical as the day. As we wondered out, we stopped for a photo op moment and before I knew it David was down on one knee with Sarah (David's sister) gasping in the background utterly shocked at what was happening. It was the easiest "YES"!

We wish you all could have been there to experience the magic of the proposal but that is what so special about a wedding. You all can join us again to celebrate the commitment we will be making to each other! Start your training now cause this event is not a spirit but rather a marathon.
