Growing up in a small town, the couple knew OF each other, yet never had an interaction until the last few weeks of Sydney's senior year of high school, where they started playing card games together in study hall. That summer they began dating. Sydney and Brian did long distance for a collective year, while Sydney went to study in Australia, just after a whirlwind 4 weeks of dating. COVID brought the two back together. Over the 4 years they have been together, the two have celebrated Brian's college graduation, adopted 2 cats, Miller and Bandit, and a dog, Bindi. They moved into their first apartment together, and have gone through yet another long-distance period, exactly a year from their wedding date, as Sydney went abroad for a semester in Italy. They couldn't be more excited to be making this commitment to each other and celebrating their love with their closest family and friends!
