“She’s beautiful inside and out,” Bree says about Jane.
Jane, who is a teacher, jokes about the first time she met Bree, a senior analyst, back in 2010 at a lake house party, but somehow Bree doesn’t recall that moment.
“When we did reconnect, I remember meeting Jane,” Bree jokes back. “It was at a friend’s birthday at Southern Nights, and we danced all night long together.”
Bree describes her first impression of Jane as her being a gorgeous and captivating woman.
“It’s kind of like I saw her soul that night – it was weird,” Bree says. “We clicked.”
Despite dancing all night long and having a connection at their friend’s birthday party, it was nothing they acted on immediately since they were both in other relationships at the time. They developed a great friendship where they could talk to each other about anything or go shopping and talk about life with each other. From there on, their relationship went from being friends to best friends to eventually dating.
Bree said that she could talk to Jane about things she couldn’t talk to anybody else about. It was like a “best-friend status” instantly.
“The moment we reconnected in 2013, I knew I wanted to marry her,” Bree says. “There was no doubt – it was that kind of connection. Again, we didn’t act on it. I just felt something with her, and I didn’t realize what it was until later on.”
Jane has a 4-year-old son named Easton, who means the world to both women; Jane says he loves Bree. That being said, it made sense to Bree to have Easton help her propose to Jane.
It was a normal day around the house, and Jane was doing chores. Her son Easton came up to her and said, “Mommy,” and she turned around, then he said “Will you marry Bree?” And Bree was there behind him on her knee, and he had the ring in his hand. Jane says it was so sweet.
They didn’t want to have too big of a wedding, so they threw around a couple of ideas. They had originally finally agreed upon going to the courthouse and then throw a party — but Bree ended up changing that.
Bree decided to surprise Jane with a beach wedding. She was planning to have the wedding while they were on vacation at Cape Canaveral Beach for a week. Jane started getting suspicious that something was up and asking Bree what she was planning, so she ended up telling her.
Bree ended up having the flowers, photographer and venue already planned and setup. Bree’s parents came and put up a bamboo arch with décor on it, which they said made it very special.
When asked if either were nervous the day of the ceremony, they both almost instantly responded, “No.”
“My favorite moment was having Easton involved. He walked me down the aisle and gave me away; he was also our ring bearer – he was multi-tasking,” Jane says. “We gave him a starfish and he had our rings on the arms of the starfish.”
Bree’s favorite things about Jane is that she’s so patient, generous and kind. Jane describes Bree as fun loving, outgoing and the life of the party.
“My favorite thing about Bree is her zest for life,” Jane says.
