We met on the dating website Plenty of Phish! I was living in Chickopee, MA and Shane was living in Somerville, MA. We talked for two months prior to meeting in person. Shane drove to Chicopee for our first date - a romantic dinner at Milano's. We shared our first kiss shortly after in the parking lot after Shane spun me around like the seasoned dancer he is! Our second date was at a paint & sip in Somerville. Shane asked me to make the relationship official, and I was delighted to accept. We enjoyed a long distance relationship for over 6 years. A lot has happened during those years, including Shane moving to Chicopee, me graduating college, both of us getting new jobs, purchasing our first home together, and becoming parents to our two kitties, Gloria and Louie. Shane proposed to me on September 19, 2024 on the front lawn of our new home! We can't wait to marry and continue our beautiful journey together! ~Brielle
