HOW THEY MET<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cJen and I have known each other since middle school. We started dating our senior year of high school \u2014 it was the typical football player\/cheerleader captain relationship. I told her that I loved her after we\u2019d only been dating for two weeks, but then we graduated and went to different schools. We tried to make it work, so we spent the first year taking turns riding buses to each other\u2019s colleges before I decided to transfer. The next three years were spent together, but when we graduated, I accepted a job in Mexico. We were separated for over seven months before finally seeing each other again. Now, we share an apartment and a 6-month-old puppy and life couldn\u2019t be better.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

SPECIAL LOCATION<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cWe had been planning a trip to Italy for almost two years. I wanted to propose in Venice because I had heard how beautiful the city was and I knew she would love all of the canals and waterways. I made sure Venice was the first stop on our Italian vacation because I didn\u2019t trust myself to keep it a secret any longer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

THE BIG DAY<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u201cWe took a gondola ride through Venice and shared a kiss as we passed under the Bridge of Sighs. After the ride, we stopped off at a secluded spot in Dorsoduro near the Basilica di Santa Maria where we were able to enjoy the view of San Marco and watch the boats sail by. As I pulled the ring from my pocket and got down on one knee, the look on Jen\u2019s face was priceless. I\u2019d say that I\u2019ve known she was \u2018the one\u2019 since I was 17 years old and over the last eight years that has been reaffirmed time and time again. It was as if our long journey had finally paid off and now we could start planning the rest of our lives together, as opposed to just dreaming of it.\u201d \u2014 Brandon<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
