Derek and Brandi first met while in college at the Long Street Nightclub in Downtown Columbus. The two shared a some conversation couple of drinks and that was about it.. Brandi had to tend to some of her friends and was whisked away leaving Derek wondering about the girl he hit it off with. Weeks later Derek and Brandi coincidentally met up at the same nightclub and this time Derek was sure to get Brandi's information so that he could call her sometime. They went on to date for 3 years until they split up because Derek took and international job offer. The two remained friends over the years and frequently talked about the future together. When Derek returned back to Columbus, he knew that Brandi was the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with and proposed to her with a personalized bottle of wine made just for her. They plan on opening the bottle on their 50th wedding anniversary. Ah...love...
