Meet Alan and Brittany

Married 2yrs

How and where did you meet?

Alan: I was a police officer and she worked at her parents tanning salon. There was an incident at the place she worked and I was the responding officer. Brittany: When taking down his ”notes”, he said he needed my name, phone number, address, and drivers license number. We were instantly attracted to one another!

Share something about each other that you admire:

Brittany: When I look into Alan’s eyes I can see and feel that he loves me. We just get each other. We make each other laugh and we are each others biggest fan. We support each other 110%. We both love and serve a mighty God.

Share a challenge in your marriage that you have overcome together and how you overcame it:

2 weeks after we were married, we suffered a job loss. It was difficult being newly married and losing insurance. But, by the grace of God we were able to overcome that struggle. We never left each others side. We were able to find a job 2 months later. It was the hardest 2 months of our lives, but it’s something that made us as a couple, a unity, and much stronger.

After you have overcome the situation, how has it made your marriage stronger?

We were young when this happened, but we know that whatever curveballs life may throw, we’ll get through it together. When no one else was there for us, we were there for each other. 

Share a funny or interesting story.

Brittany: We always joke because I have a way of spoiling moments. Alan and I used to say ”I like you,” instead of ”I love you”…so while we were still dating I just said ”I love you!” I was so embarrassed I ran out of his apartment and went and sat in my car. Turns out Alan had a romantic date planned where he planned on telling me that he loved me.

Alan: She also ”spoiled” the proposal! She thought someone had broken in at her family business so she sped there, jump out of her car and ran in to find me lighting candles and spreading rose petals everywhere. Needless to say, I didn’t finish lighting the candles, I just had to propose right there!
