Gregory and Briana both attended the University of Scranton - Gregory was studying nursing and Briana was studying occupational therapy. During their time at the U, they met thru mutual friends. One of their earliest and fondest memories together, as friends, is when they were both competing in a hula hoop contest at a local bar with their friends: Gregory came in second and Briana came in first (but who's keeping score?)! It wasn't until a couple of years later when they started to really hit it off - during a pandemic of all times. In 2020, Gregory had graduated and begun his career in nursing. Briana was back home, finishing her undergraduate degree remote over Zoom while also working part-time at a senior living facility. As if the stars were aligned, the senior living facility happened to be in Greg's hometown (what are the odds)! While the world was in isolation, these two reconnected, bonding over the hardships of working in healthcare during a pandemic and reminiscing on college stories. One thing led to another. And well, the rest is history! While they were dating, Bri finished up her final year of undergrad at the U then proceeded to grad school to earn her Master's and began working as an occupational therapist meanwhile Greg began travel nursing - never traveling too far from Bri! Early on in their careers, they packed up their belongings and moved in together at the jersey shore - somewhere that always held a special place in their hearts! There, they really planted roots and grew together. They expanded their pack by rescuing a mini Australian Shepard/Border Collie mix, Finnley. Soon after, they closed on a house down the shore. And shortly thereafter, Gregory proposed to Briana in the Damajagua Waterfalls (after zip lining, swimming lagoons, & cliff jumping - of all places!) in the Dominican Republic...in which she replied "YES!"
