Our Engagement:

While on vacation, we got engaged at the cliffs at Gay Head on Martha’s Vineyard. Justin waited until sunset on the beach. The setting was perfect. Justin fumbling the kneel and tripping in the sand, just made the moment that much more romantic. Later that night, on our way to dinner to celebrate, Justin reminded Brian that he had never actually said ‘’yes’’. This was quickly fixed.

Brian

  • Brian was born and raised in Weston, Massachusetts. He went to college in New Jersey and New York and moved to Philadelphia in 2010. He thought he had finally escaped the 'Jersey Boy' identity until he met Justin and got dragged back (to South Jersey no less!). He works as a Licensed Professional Counselor in the criminal justice system. 
  •  Factoid 1: Brian loves buying new house plants. Unfortunately he has yet to keep one alive through a calendar year. 
  • Factoid 2: Try as he might, Brian is incapable of successfully executing a proper high five! 

Justin

  • Justin was born and raised in Rochester, New Hampshire. He moved to Philadelphia to attend Philadelphia University in 1999. He works as an Architect. He is finally using his knowledge to live out the dream of renovating his own home. The renovation is dragging on much longer than expected since Brian has hijacked our house fund to pay for the wedding!!
  • Factoid 1: Justin loves drinking tea. So he says anyway. Brian has never seen him make a cup of tea and is pretty sure he can't tell green from ulong!
  • Factoid 2: A conservative calculation shows that Justin has played approximately 3,120 games of minesweeper since he and Brian met!
