Brian and Ricci met when they were in high school… his first words to her were “I’m going to marry you some day”. Ricci laughed and walked away. They became very close friends and would talk on the phone for hours every single day. They hardly went a day without seeing each other. Brian left quickly for the Army and they lost contact. Ricci says that God took her out of his life during this time because she don’t think she would have coped with it well. He was severely injured in the line of duty on deployment in 2008. He spent months recovering from his injuries. In 2010, they found each other on Facebook and rekindled their friendship as if no time had passed at all. They talked everyday, sometimes for hours. It has been 3 years now and their relationship as a couple has definitely been tested with some very tough times. They have proven to be a strong couple as friends and now as husband as wife. They got married at Marco Island Marriott in presence of their closest family members and friends. Congratulations guys! 🙂
