How they met as told by BriAnna Morrow I made the decision to embark on a 3 ½ month adventure in Jerusalem, Israel, summer of 2018. This 3 ½ month stay in the Holy Land was orchestrated by the BYU Jerusalem Study abroad program. I first met Weston on the plane flight from Salt Lake City to JFK. BYU had picked the seating chart on the plane by alphabetizing our last names. This meant that my last name “Morrow,” was seated in the same row as Weston’s last name “Minnick.” This also resulted in Weston sitting in the row right behind me on the flight following that went from JFK to Tel Aviv, Israel. I was able to talk to Weston and get to know him better on the plane flights. We both met and made lots of friends on the study abroad and later started becoming interested in each other towards the end of the program. We ended up kissing and then got to sit next to each other again on the flight home to the U.S.. Weston made sure to pack the rug I got in Greece for the flight home, so that I would have to come and get it from him again later when we got home. He was very smart hahaha because it worked.

An interview with the newlyweds What was your first impression?
Who said “I love you” first?
BriAnna: Extremely happy, talkative and an amazing listener! Anything I told him, he remembered perfectly!
BriAnna: Weston! I said it back after though.
Weston: Genuine. Kind. Beautiful. Smart. Basically perfect. Has a boyfriend? Dang.
What did you do on your first date?
Weston: I said it first but she was definitely thinking it way before I was.
What’s the most surprising thing you’ve learned about each other since you began dating?
BriAnna: We went jet skiing at Deer Creek and then went to a wedding reception with some of our Jerusalem friends.
BriAnna: How he is a friend to everyone and anyone! Weston genuinely cares to get to know people and learn more about them, not just their surface qualities.
Weston: We went jet skiing up at Deer Creek in Provo Canyon
Weston: Her metabolism is much faster than mine...
and crashed a wedding with some friends.
Who initiated the first kiss? BriAnna: Weston, but it was definitely mutual. Weston: She will never admit it, but she pulled me in!

What is one of your favorite memories together? BriAnna: On the flight back home from Jerusalem, my ticket was assigned to the middle seat. Weston knew I hated the middle, so he offered to let me have the aisle seat instead. I then spent the next 11 hours tossing and turning on the plane all while keeping Weston awake in my search to get comfortable :)
Weston: Camping up in Provo canyon making tin foil dinners. I really loved just sitting around the fire joking around with her.
What do you love most about each other? BriAnna: His willingness to always rub my feet hahaha! Weston: Bri genuinely cares about those around her. She is very sweet and thoughtful. I love the optimism she radiates and her beautiful smile that makes me the happiest guy in the world.
When did you know you were meant to be? BriAnna: When I realized how easy and natural it felt to be together. We didn’t have to work at our relationship. We were best friends who loved to always spend time with each other. Weston: It was the easiest decision I ever made. It was never if we would be together but rather a question of when we would make it official. There is no other person I would rather be with, no other thing I would rather be doing.
What’s next for you two? BriAnna: Weston will start his masters of accounting this fall and I will graduate from BYU next spring and then go to Physician’s Assistant school. Weston: First we are going to take a nap, then we are going to buy a puppy. :)
The Proposal as told by Weston Minnick We flew out to Southern California to finally see our cute baby niece. I had talked to MaryAnne and Jeff about proposing while we were out there. MaryAnne, Bonnie, and Bri went to go get their nails done while I went with Brian and Jeff to get some flowers for Bri. We found a nice little private area on the beach and set up a little spot where I could pop the question! We met back up with the girls for lunch and then I started to get SUPER nervous. I had to hide the ring in the waistband of my pants, because I knew Bri would be checking my pockets (and she did). I took her down to the beach and we just walked along talking until we got to where I had set up. By then I was SWEATING. I got down on one knee. She did her best to act surprised but she totally knew it was coming. After a bit, Bri’s family came down and we took some pictures!
