Stacy decided to get some wine out at a local Hoboken restaurant, Zack’s Oak Bar, with a friend of hers. The friend knew the bartender so it would be free wine! Stacy and the bartender, Brandon, chatted all night, and at the end of the night, Stacy invited Brandon to go dancing with them. He, being the “best dancer in Hoboken” agreed to join them. They had a fun night out, exchanged numbers and talked about hanging out again the next night.

The next day, Brandon golfed with Kais, who could tell something was different about him and all Brandon said was, “I met a girl.”

They met up Saturday night at Willie McBride’s in Hoboken for more dancing. Brandon walked Stacy home and she admits that’s when she fell for him.

Brandon called Stacy on Sunday night to go out on a proper dinner date that week for…Mexican. He knew the way to her heart.

Over the years in Hoboken they had many adventures with their great group of friends – watching soccer games, drinking on Long Island, going on ski trips, eating and BYO-ing at Illusion Sushi.

They eventually moved in together in Jersey City where they lived for a few years before deciding it was time to move to Florida to be near Stacy’s family. In Spring 2016, they packed up the apartment and moved to Orlando, buying a house June 2016.

Stacy’s birthday weekend, Labor Day, 2016, they went to the beach (Cocoa Beach) with Nina & Steve (Stacy’s mom & dad). Brandon wanted to go for a walk to the pier, so off they went. At the end of the pier, Brandon started saying really nice things to Stacy and eventually got down on one knee and proposed! A few people noticed and clapped, and Stacy couldn’t stop laughing & crying.

Stacy’s dad got them a picture of the pier where Brandon proposed and it sits proudly on a wall in their house so they can be reminded of that special day.
