Brittany and Evan first met when they were 2-years-old, but it wasn’t until their mid-20s that they rekindled their friendship in New York City. The two have been inseparable ever since. Evan proposed in Central Park, surprising Brittany with their brand new puppy wearing a “Will You Marry Me” tag around his neck, as Evan got down on one knee.
