Redemption of Love

Neither Brandon or Adrian had pleasant backgrounds.

They had both recently escaped abusive marriages.

Tired of their pain; tired of heartache; tired of loneliness.

They set out to change their lives and search for someone to truly share themselves with.

After signing up for online dating, it took but a week for these two souls to come across one another, talk and meet for dinner.

Whenever asked, they'll both tell you that it was almost as if a lightswitch had been flipped.

They felt comfortable and spent hours longer together than initially planned. They spoke of their pasts, they spoke of their goals; they shared secrets.

It quickly became a daily occurance, floating around each other, surprising each other with just their presence.

They found solace in one another, and soon after became committed. It didnt take long for Adrian to become pregmant with their oldest son together, Titus Dean.

There was hardships and frequent moves for a short time.

Yet they persisted.

Family came together and helped them purchase their home, they settled in and started fixing their property.

It wasnt long after when Covid hit and Brandon's motor rebuilding business was put out on a permanent hold.

What followed was a time of uncertainty and fear.

As it was for most families across the world.

Yet they persisted.

Brandon, having a professional background in computer science and coding, started up a social media website.

The work, time and money that Brandon put in to this business, with the unwavering support of Adrian, quickly blossomed and became a giant part of their lives, second only to their children.

Proposal

Brandon started their wedding story in the summer of 2020, a few months after Titus was born.

On the day he proposed, he asked Adrian to follow him through the house until they cane to a pet bed. He knelt down and asked her to look in there and as she got closer, he pulled out a ring box. He said nothing as he handed trembling Adrian the box. Opening it, a light shone on the ring with a folded note inside. That note, was really a meme.

Of course, if she had said no, we would not be here today.

The rest of this story falls together like a puzzle meant to be.

Like any love, speed bumps happen.

To be so committed and in love, and to always hold each other through the hard times after knowing too well the sting of heartache,

it truly shows us all the power of love.
