Rekindled Romance

“I love that my future husband is always trying to find ways to put a smile on my face,” says bubbly bride-to-be Brittany who rekindled a romance with her college sweetheart five years after they split because their careers drove them apart. We love it when two lovers find their way back to one another because it’s meant to be.

Sharing The Love

“Patrick and my dog Misty didn’t get along at first and it took some time for both of them to adjust to each other,” Brittany recalls. “But the best gift he has given me is his affection toward my Misty. Whenever he takes her to the groomer and buys her a new collar it brings joy to my heart.”

Spend My Life With You

 “When we first met, what made Brittany stand out from other women was her spirit,” says Patrick. “She’s so optimistic and positive. The glass is always half full and I need that kind of energy around me. Life has a way of knocking you down and it’s a blessing to be with someone that has faith and believes that things will get better in the midst of a bad situation.”
