A New York state-of-mind brought these two Utah natives together. With the right mix of rustic and elegance, Sheena and Bryan melded city and country flair to create a refined mountainside retreat.
Though they were both raised in Utah, they met in New York through a close friend. Sheena was interning at W magazine and Bryan was in his second year at NYU Law School. They met their very first weekend in the city and were friends for a year before they started dating. According to Bryan, “It was right away. The moment I laid eyes on her.” For Sheena, it was a little harder to pinpoint. “He’s quite the package deal—attractive, intelligent, outgoing, romantic, kind and the list goes on. My love for him has continued to grow.”
Bryan proposed on August 31st. “The perfect way to end the summer,” Sheena recalls. After a romantic dinner, Bryan unexpectedly suggested a walk toward Washington Square Park. They reminisced about their time together and the moments they had shared through the years. The two then sat on a park bench where Bryan got on one knee and asked Sheena to marry him.
