Their love story began in Mr. Theodore's band class, back in 2006. Where Corey was the Trumpet playing Football Captain, who always wore sleeveless shirts to show off his muscular arms, and Bianca was the Flute playing BHS Pom, who fell in love with said muscular arms.
Some flirtatious chatting and looks were exchanged back and forth during band class for weeks, before Corey worked up the nerve to make his move. He finally slipped his number into Bianca's phone, under the guise of wanting to check out her new AT&T Pebble phone, and the rest is history!
14 years worth of memories later and they’ve traveled to Paris, Rome, Mexico, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Jamaica, Thailand, Haiti, and beyond, completed college degrees and introduced their families to each other. December 2019, Corey finally popped the question in Annapolis, MD and Bianca said yes. They can’t wait for this exciting new chapter to begin!
Corey proposed on December 15, 2019 at Blackwall Hitch in Annapolis, MD.
Knowing that Bianca's level of intuition is finely tuned, Corey distracted her by planning a surprise date, weeks in advance. When the day finally came, Corey blindfolded, Bianca and took her to the ICE show at the National Harbour. Once the show was over, Corey told Bianca he had one more surprise, blindfolded her again and in the car they went.
Once they arrived at the next destination, Bianca removed the blindfold and open her eyes to see that Corey had brought her to Blackwall Hitch. Confusion set in, as this is a restaurant that Corey and Bianca had visited a multitude of times. What was so special this time? So Bianca follows Corey's lead, confused and a bit annoyed, into the restaurant to be greeted by the hostess. After the hostess takes Bianca's coat, she then walks them back to be seated.
As they walk, Bianca turns back to tell Corey about one of the private rooms that she previously used for Galentine's Day with her girlfriends. When she turns back around to continue walking, she catches a glimpse of a private room. In an instant, everything clicked and Bianca realized exactly what was about to happen.
Corey ushered a completely and utterly shocked Bianca, into a room filled with candles, rose petals, appetizers, desserts, champagne, and their closest family and friends. There they stood in the middle of a heart, surrounded by love. Corey shared a few special words and then dropped down to one knee to ask Bianca for her hand in marriage. She of course, very quickly and excitedly through tears said YES!
