Not everyone's love story happens within 2-3 years. This was the case for Brittney and Tracey Todd. They met at a conference and through multiple first dates, a cross country relationship, and a lot of growth, they ended up with the most beautiful wedding you'd ever seen (it was actually in The Knot.) They told us about some of their ups and downs and what they keep between the two of them -- because the totality of our relationships aren't for public consumption. You'll enjoy this one.
