love stories
their home on the South Shore of Massachusetts . Their dog , Kuzy , was a fast follower to their new space .
Once they kicked off traveling again , Andrea began to wonder before each trip if it would be “ the trip .” It wasn ’ t until their March 2022 trip to Jupiter that Brian had a chance to ask Andrea ’ s parents in person for their blessing .
Brian immediately asked her dad for Winklette Whittemore ’ s information at Perrywinkle ’ s as he was familiar with the family ’ s loyalty to Perrywinkle ’ s Fine Jewelry . On a work trip , Brian began the process of calls with Winkle to design the ring !
A few months later , Brian & Andrea went out to dinner and returned home to a beautifully decorated house , a dog in a tuxedo , and a bag full of gifts with a ring box at the bottom .
Brian got down on one knee , opened the box , and asked Andrea to marry him . Instead of responding to the immediate question , she said , “ Wow , do you love the ring ?”, trying to make sure he loved it as much as she did . He repeated the original question , and a “ Yes !” quickly followed .
The fun continued when they came to Perrywinkle ’ s to pick out their wedding bands .
And they both secretly worked with Winkle to pick out the perfect wedding gifts for each other .
They exchanged gifts before their rehearsal dinner — both equally surprised by the other . Thankfully , Winkle was there for welcome drinks to help Brian wind and size his new watch !
They completed the weekend with a beautiful wedding at Waterworks Food + Drink in Winooski , Vermont , on June 3 , 2023 !
