The couple married in October 2012 in Boston, Massachusetts, and now share sons Russell, 21 months, Oliver, two, and Calvin, six.
And while weddings require a lot of planning, Dylan, 42, revealed her favorite moment was the one that took her completely by surprise in a recent interview with People.
She recounted the “absolutely perfect” moment her husband Brian, 37, asked for an unexpected song, explaining that she immediately “tied up” her dress and was “back on the dance floor”.
Today’s show meteorologist Dylan Dreyer reflected on his magical marriage to NBC cameraman Brian Fichera before their 11th anniversary.
She recounted the “absolutely perfect” moment her husband asked for an unexpected song urging him to “tie up” her dress so she could “spin it on the dance floor”.
“At the end of our wedding, the DJ asked Brian what song to play last. Brian just randomly said Coldplay’s Viva La Vida,” she told the outlet.
“We have no connection with the song but it was absolutely perfect. I tied up my long dress and he just spun me around on the dance floor. It was pure joy, love and happiness.
The spontaneity of this one allowed the couple to be present and to live the present moment.
“We totally absorbed the last moment of our perfect day! she explained.
After almost 11 years together, Dylan revealed the secret to a happy marriage.
For her and Brian, having a common hobby helps them find their happiness.
“Golf is the thing we do together. We take a few drinks, we laugh. We remember why we fell in love,” Dylan said TODAY.com. “Then we come home and we come back to the family.”
They have three young boys and, while challenging, they feel that being a parent has only strengthened their relationship.
After almost 11 years together, Dylan revealed the secret to a happy marriage.
Although challenging, they feel that being a parent has only strengthened their relationship.
“It’s a lot of time for the kids. It’s like, “Brian, I need to take Oliver to the doctor. I need you to take Calvin to karate. I’ll see you at dinner!” Dylan shared.
“I don’t want to say it had a negative impact on our relationship – we just got stronger.”
They also emphasize the importance of communication in their relationship.
“My family can hold grudges. If something upsets us, we’re like, ‘I’ll talk to you later,’ and then we never explain why we were upset in the first place,” Dylan explained.
“Brian won’t even let me be mad for 10 minutes. He said, ‘Please just tell me about your annoyance so we can start having fun again.’
They share sons Russell, 21 months, Oliver, two, and Calvin, six.

“After a few years, we had a little party at Brian’s house, which we nicknamed the Jammy Jam. That’s when I realized I had totally fallen in love with him and from there, that’s ancient history!’
