It all started on April 5th, 2022. Abby caught Brandons eye with an instagram post... It didnt take Brandon long to figure out who she was, as Brandon and Abby had a couple of mutual friends that they can thank for bringing them together. On April 15th, 2022 Brandon and Abby went on their 1st date to Applebees, and then they went to a movie. Following that not even 24 hours later Brandon took Abby on their 2nd date to family Easter, where she met Brandon's Mom's whole side of the family. From there they started officially dating on June 11th, 2022. Thats the same day he met her parents, and entire family at her cousin's graduation party.

Abby was living in Bemidji at the beginning of their relationship. She was going to college at Bemidji State University pursuing Nursing. Between school, and work she was spending her time back and forth between Bemidji, Howard Lake, and Maple Lake.

Brandon was living in Howard Lake working full time and spending his free time doing demolition derbies, and of course making sure his weekends were free for Abby to come back to town.

The first 10 months of their relationship was spent long distance. In December 2022 they moved in together residing in Howard Lake. In October 2023 Brandon and Abby moved to Maple Lake and got a place of their own. Their house is now filled with lots of love and 3 furry friends. Bean, Maverick, and Kash.

Finally, On December 30th, 2023 Brandon proposed to Abby on a beach at sunset in South Padre, Texas.

We cannot wait to celebrate our big day with each and every one of you!
