The Story of Brian and Colleen.... The best way I could describe it is "Good things come to those who wait". being a girl, you grow up with the 'Disney Princess' expectation that your prince charming is going to bump into you, whisk you off of your feet with one super amazing kiss, and you get married and live happily ever after. Well, as you grow older you realize you may have to kiss a frog or 2 before your prince charming enters your life.
Brian and I both grew up in Old Brooklyn (Cleveland), Ohio. We went to separate schools, had separate interests, But we had one great thing in common.....an amazing group of mutual friends. We both hung out with the same group in high school, and occasionally saw each other. When I first saw him, I was like he's pretty cute ....But the stubborn girl that I was - I wanted him to ask me out. Unfortunately neither of us were ready for each other, and the timing was off. So we went on with our lives, and I lost touch with our group of friends for about 5 years. And then - just like that...Fate Happened. Back in the day, there was this social media site called Myspace. It was all the rage...believe it or not. I reconnected with a fella named Danny, from our old group of friends! Danny invited me to hang out and of course I was happy to reconnect with him and all of the great friends from the past. When we met up one time Brian was there. And, Brian was Danny's roommate too. Small World, Eh? That night Brian and I went to a quiet section of the bar and talked the whole night. I knew by the end of the night he was a very special man, and I was so intrigued by this guy who talked with so much passion about family and life. Three months later, at Danny and Brian's new year's eve party we kissed at midnight and our relationship started.

Our Love Blossomed over the next few months, and Brian and I had started talking about a future together. We made the decision to move in together. It was a BIG decision. But it was the greatest decision, we grew so close and more and more in love!
Finally, October 29, 2010 Brian Proposed to me! It was Beautiful! He took me to Brandywine Falls and I had NO idea what was about to happen.... I had my Hair up in a bun, no makeup, complete with jeans and earmuffs.... It was such a happy day!
