Our Wedding

Our story loosely begins in the parking lot of Taco Bell. I (Alycia) climbed out of a truck that was parked way too tight and parkoured off of Brandons car in the process. Somehow, despite being clumsy, I nailed it. For almost a decade after that shining first impression, we lived mostly separate lives, no sparks, no dramatic glances, and hardly a proper hello.Then one August, thanks to a little help from a mutual friend (and fate finally getting its act together), we reconnected and planned a hike. Somewhere between the trailhead and the summit, we realized we had far more in common than either of us expected. We talked and talked about everything and nothing. It was immediately clear we had found something special. From there, it was adventure after adventure. Road trips, hikes, laughter, late-night conversations, and the kind of everyday moments that turn into your favorite memories. Then one rainy May evening, in an Octagon , Brandon proposed. It was quiet, peaceful, perfectly imperfect and completely us. Of course, the answer was yes. Now we’re counting down to our wedding day where we get to celebrate the next chapter surrounded by the people who have supported, encouraged, and loved us along the way. Thank you for being part of our story. We can’t wait to keep writing it with you there. 🤍
