Our story starts on the campus of Frostburg State University located in the Appalachian Mountains of Maryland. During the spring semester of 2003, a boy named Bryan was playing cards with a few of his friends when a girl, named Leeann walked through the door with mutual friends. Bryan was in his third year at Frostburg studying Earth Science and Leeann was in her first year studying Mass Communications. Two opposites studying completely different subjects and who were raised in opposite ends of Maryland – Bryan in Montgomery County, a metropolitan suburb of Washington, DC – Leeann in Kent County, a rural community on the beautiful coast of the Chesapeake Bay. Although they met in passing – each one left a lasting impression on the other. Later, as fate would have it, their mutual friends brought them closer together and they formed a friendship that would last forever. On a cold and snowy night in February of 2004 they took a chance on love and started dating. Two years later, Bryan had graduated from Frostburg while Leeann was still attending school. Although being at a distance from each other was hard for both of them, they treasured every moment they could get together. As spring break approached for Leeann, the two decided to head down to Virginia Beach to spend a romantic weekend together. On their first night, Bryan decided to make reservations for dinner at Salacia. After a brief wait – due to Prom – they were escorted to the private room at the restaurant for an exquisite dinner. After dinner, the couple headed back to their oceanfront room. There was a beautiful full moon out that same night. Bryan took Leeann out to the balcony and told her that couldn’t imagine life without her. Leeann – not being able to imagine being without him eagerly said yes. They’ve been inseparable from that point on. Four years, two apartments, and one energetic, fun-loving Pomeranian (named Lily) later, the boy and the girl are thrilled to finally be getting married by the waters of the Chesapeake Bay. Eagerly awaiting to have their happily ever after…
