Brian and Jess met in 2013, on their first day of freshman year at Boston College. The two exchanged numbers in the lasagna line at the dining hall the next day and remained friends for months. After some time, Brian asked Jess on a date. Their first date was an 18-year-old's dream - dinner at Bertucci's followed by a movie date to see Frozen. It should be known that Brian ordered milk with his meal and Jess still found it in her to remain at the table (and with him for the following 9 years). The two decided to make it "official" promptly after Brian saw a text pop up on Jess' phone from a friend asking "did he make it official yet?" (thanks, Lyndsie) Brian and Jess remained together throughout college, sharing many mutual friends and having some of the best memories. After college, they have been lucky to remain together, traveling to places like Italy and Paris, and sharing their love of food, movies, beach trips, and everything in between throughout the Boston area. The two moved in together in 2020 (thanks COVID) and quickly expanded their little family with the arrival of their dog, Winston that same year. After almost a decade of dating, Brian got down on one knee on a rather rainy day in June of 2023. Afterwards, Brian surprised Jess with a celebration including friends and family from all over. The two are so excited to get married in 2024 alongside all of their friends and family!
