Almost as if they were drawn together by fate, both Brian (from MA) and Stacie (from OH) left their home towns to start new lives in Florida. They both found themselves in the insurance industry and got hired at the same office job in Boca Raton. Shortly after Brian decided he would sit next to the cute girl in the office, turns out that cute girl was Stacie. They talked that whole day and every day that they worked together going forward and they became great friends.

Our first kiss on Deerfield Beach, by the pier watching the sunrise after staying out the entire night celebrating my birthday. (Stacie’s Birthday) We had been friends for 5 years and were meeting up just as friends at the birthday dinner party on Los Olas in Fort Lauderdale. We went partying after dinner all night and ended up at the beach at 2 am. It was very magical, dipped in the water dress in all! Craziest love feeling ever experienced. Our friendship turned into love so unexpectedly.

We plan to use the money on our home. We purchased our very first house last year in September. While we love our new home, it was built in the early 70s and is needing many renovations. We got married in October of 2024 and we have been working on our house ever since even delaying our honeymoon. We have a business and work together at home. Much of our time is spent at home so home life is very important us. We have major plans for renovations and expect to be working on them for a few years.
