Due to our love our live music we met on three different occasions before we started seriously talking to each other.
Meeting 1: One of our mutual friends, Tom, from Northeastern brought Allison to a music festival called Locobazooka, where Brian was also attending on September 28th, 2003. It was a quick meeting where we were simply introduced to each other in passing.
Meeting 2: Tom brought Allison again to a local show where one of Brian's favorite local bands, Changing Skin, was playing at Bill's Bar on Landsdowne St across from Fenway Park. There we got to hang out much longer and talk a bit more.
Meeting 3: In December, Tom was yet again coming out to another concert and by this time Brian was hoping Allison would also be showing up. That night, Allison would never forget how gentlemanly Brian was by making room on a set of stairs so Allison could see the band. From that night, Allison and Brian formed a friendship and by Spring of 2004 it formed into relationship.
In May of 2007 after graduating from Northeastern, we continued our adventure by following our dreams to work in the startup world of San Francisco. Fast forward to April 2010 where Brian and Allison head to Disney World for the first time in six years. It was Brian's birthday, and after their dinner in Epcot, we went to watch the fireworks. Through the crowd of people, we came across 2 isolated empty chairs with a perfect view. As we watched the fireworks, Brian told Allison how much she ment to him, and asked her to marry him. She said yes, and the rest of the vacation was magical.
