In a love story for the modern age, our journey began where so many do now: on a dating app. It wasn't long before we had our first date at Monte Cello's, and what could have been a typical evening quickly became something special. We instantly bonded over our shared passion for the heart—literally. Brianne, with her deep fascination for all things cardiothoracic, and Brian, with his innovative work on the Wearable Cardiac Defibrillator, found a common language that went beyond small talk.

Over the next two and a half years, our love grew, with Tuesdays becoming our sacred date night. We explored the hidden gems of Pittsburgh, from secret speakeasies to the delicious deals of Pittsburgh Restaurant Week, and spent countless hours walking the trails of North Park. Our adventures extended beyond the city, creating lasting memories with friends and family on trips to NYC, Orlando, and several incredible national parks.

On a cold January evening, after a beautiful Candlelight concert at the Omni, Brian got down on one knee. It was a perfect and heartfelt moment, a testament to the love and partnership we had built. We can't wait to continue our story and celebrate our next chapter with all of you!
