Tijana & Brian in Amelia Island, FL

Just because your mother always told you never to talk to strangers doesn't mean it's never a good idea. Take Tijana Simic and Brian Graham, who would not have met if Tijana hadn't happened to strike up a conversation with her airplane seatmate. Their impromptu north Florida nuptials were both intimate and elegant. The Bride Tijana Simic The Groom Brian Graham The Date April 29th Tijana was returning home to Brussels from Italy when she noticed that the handsome stranger two seats away on her flight was not eating the Neuhaus chocolate that had been served with the meal. She leaned over and spoke her very first words to Brian, commenting on the fact that he must be very health conscious to resist such a delicacy. They wound up talking for the entire flight, and then they had coffee at the airport. They met again when he was in London (he works for a family-owned hair-care product business) and again when he was in Italy. When he went to Paris, the two spent a romantic week in a hotel near the Arc de Triomphe. At Christmas, Tijana made her first trip to the United States to visit Brian in Atlanta for the weekend. That weekend turned into 45 days, and she decided to move to Atlanta for good. One year later, Brian and Tijana returned to Paris to stay at the same romantic hotel near the Arc d'Triomphe. This time, Brian proposed marriage and they returned to Atlanta to plan their wedding.
