Brian and Amy met in 2004 when Brian joined Raytheon.  The first meeting between the two were at a staff meeting  with twenty other people.  Although Brian and Amy both worked in the same building, they didn't work together.  Occasionally, they would bump into each other on their way to lunch with their respective friends.  A simple smile and "hi" were all that was exchanged between them for several years. 

After exchanging phone numbers, Amy went about her business the next day.  At the end of the next day, Brian called Amy up to invite her to watch a play called "Noises Off" at the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center.  Brian later confessed that he had gotten those tickets a year ago, confident that he was going to have a date for the show.  Little did he know that he would have just days before the show to find a date!  Luckily, Amy accepted his invitation to the play.

Over the next few weeks, Brian and Amy continued to see each other.  Brian also got to meet Toby.  That was the true test for Brian.  Luckily, Toby absolutely loves Brian.  The dog that hates water will following Brian down the beach to get his paws wet.  Brian has always wanted a dog and he now has a dog that adores him.  The relationship between Amy and Brian grew quickly.  The two of them have similar goals in life and share the same passions for food and travel.  After dating for eight months, Brian popped the question, with Toby as the witness.
