Wedding Date on Dec 31, 2014

From The Bride: Keely and Brendan met at a party, in March of 2014; although having never met before, they instantaneously hit it off. Nearly five months following, the couple decided to officially date. Two and a half years from their first date, the duo finally sealed the deal. The big question was popped at Cococay Bay in the Bahamas during a Royal Caribbean cruise. Using the guise of a snorkeling "treasure hunt," Brendan swam on with ring box in pocket, with a white-knuckled hold on it, and led Keely to a sandbar. There, Brendan stumbled across a conch shell buried amongst the sand and, with a clever wit, snuck the ring underneath. Under the pretense of having found "treasure," he called to Keely, got on one knee, and, as they say, the rest is history. The wedding was planned while Brendan was training to be a United States Marine Corps officer and keely was finishing her college degree.
