Bryan is the grandson of Mrs. Kay Moore and the late Mr. Paul Moore of Brunswick, Md. and Mr. William Sutherland and the late Mrs. Sarah Sutherland of Laurel Bloomery, Tenn.
The pair met at Brunswick High School and both attended the University of Maryland, College Park.

Bryan proposed to Francie on December 28, 2011 on a beautifully lit pier in Baltimore’s inner harbor.  
A country wedding is planned for August in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee.
