How we met
Brian first met Dina at a FDU event called Airband.
Both were participating and decent dancers and lip-sync artists.
But apparently, Brian was more experienced and skilled because he and his fellow members of 62E took home the gold that night, leaving Dina starry-eyed.
Then, the rest is history!
:)
Umm that was Brian's version....
Yes we did compete with separate groups.
The girls may not have placed but were pioneers, boldly entering a greek life competition as "independents."
And giving a performance that no one especially his fraternity brothers freaking out in the front row, ever forgot.
Dina was able to shake it so well she had Brian mesmerized. Then Brian and his 62E members were the first white boys Dina had ever seen dance with a successful rhythm reminding her of JT. She was screaming along with the rest of the girls and said I am going to marry one of them! And then thought to herself, woah wouldn't that be weird.....
If Brian didn't spend all his time in a cave editing maybe there would have been a Dina and Brian sooner. But God has perfect timing as we know! Even though Dina tried to set up Brian with her friends nothing stuck and it always seemed to end up Dina and Brian talking for hours. It seems for a time everyone saw what Dina couldn't and all of Brians friends were hoping I would end his college long streak of no females allowed due to his EXTREMELY picky nature.
Brian got to manipulating by making sure we were partnered up in our Coed Airband dance, and picking apart my brain with late night conversations. Well after a first date as best-buy and multiple viewings of South Park complete with Mike Bender hanging out with us. Who could resist? Not mention campus harassment from his brothers for life. This was obviously a match made in, well wherever!
The moral of the story is...They met dancing and now they have the rest of their lives to dance through
together :)

How we got engaged
Brian and
I love the fall! The only reason we are getting married in the summer is because of my school schedule! But every year we make a couple of trips to Warwick Winery and Ochs Farm. We love grabbing lunch and doing wine tasting at the Winery, then moving on to Ochs farm to pick apples and any other fruit or vegetable you can think of! We often bring groups of friends up there and have a great time! Its like our little world of fall fun there!
We both had the day off (it was election day, weird), so we decided its probably the last time this season we have to drive up there and spend the day. So we did. I can't say it was exactly sunny out, actually it was very gray as we drove up there! But we stopped at Warwick and there was no one around! It was so quiet up there! So we grabbed our favorite wine and went to Ochs farm where we found some picnic tables. Brian had brought a picnic lunch, I mean its always a good idea to feed me. So then we decided to see if there were any apples left, this time last year there were plenty. But for some reason we were having trouble finding any left on trees so we split up. He called me over to his row saying he found a bunch and he was using one of those long apple picker thingys to get what i thought was an apple up in the tree. But as he brought it down closer it was a ring box. I didn't get it, I thought they were earrings since I had been saying I had wanted like a nice pair everyday earrings and I thought he was just being thoughtful. Well I was obviously clueless, but once he got on one knee I got the point.
And then everyone knows how it went from there.....haha!
