Our love story began in January 2023. We met through my mom and his previous supervisor. They're good friends and Brandon and I were going through similar life events at the time. They though it would be a great idea for us to meet each other, so we did! We met at a cozy Chinese restaurant called Hunan Garden.

From the moment I laid eyes on Alicia, I was intrigued to know more about her. Silly, serious and caring, I couldn't help but feel a connection.

Brandon, the jokester, loving and welcoming, stole my heart from day one. Our first date was unforgettable; his car was being serviced, but he didn't flake. He lyfted to our meeting spot because he didn't want to miss out on seeing me. What started out as a new friendship led to a wonderful relationship.

A year and a half later, our journey led us to northern Italy, where Brandon proposed outside his grandpa's childhood village in Fanna on Via Mioni. It was a dream come true. As we look towards the future, our hope is to seize every moment together.

To our friends and family, thank you for your unwavering support and love. Our hearts are full as we embark on this new chapter.

Love, Alicia and Brandon.
