Brian and Dominique's first date was dinner at a small restaurant in Downtown Miami, Jaguar Sun. It was Oct 29, 2019 and Brian had arrived early. Facing the door, he was lucky enough to catch her entrance. One meal, two bars and a scooter ride later, they shared their first kiss.

Four months into dating, the COVID shutdowns meant a lot of free time. They spent almost all of it together. From cooking elaborate meals in Brian’s apartment, to kayaking down Indian Creek, from strolls down the boardwalk, to champagne picnics in the sand - soon they were inseparable.

Throughout the years they built on their love to form a partnership. Every tender moment shared, every hardship faced together. Their love got them far, their commitment brought them here.

Dominique and Brian got engaged in Kyoto at Maruyamacho Park on May 18, 2024.

They look forward to the future, excited to see their families combine and work on starting their own.
