Our Wedding

Originally meeting at Towson University, Brandon and Amanda started their relationship on September 10th 2016 at 天天ラーメン (Ten Ten Japanese Ramen, R.I.P)&nbsp;after their first date at the Baltimore Science&nbsp;Center&nbsp;(a&nbsp;perfect combination of both of their interests).&nbsp;&nbsp;

Many study dates, church activities, pragmatic food hunting, and scary movies were enjoyed in the midst of their&nbsp;relationship; until things took a drastic change.



In 2019, Brandon got an opportunity to fulfill his life-long dream of working and living in&nbsp;Japan. &nbsp;Right before Amanda started the&nbsp;first year of her Master's program at the University of Delaware, they planned a trip for Amanda to visit Brandon in Kobe, Japan.&nbsp;



After a week filled with sushi, playing with monkeys and ferrets, zip-lining through the tree tops with new Japanese friends, and much more; Brandon proposed to Amanda at&nbsp;明石海峡大橋 (Akashi Kaikyo Bridge), the world's largest suspending bridge. Brandon chose this spot to symbolize that no matter how far apart they might be&nbsp;(6813.95 miles to be exact)&nbsp;their commitment&nbsp;to&nbsp;love&nbsp;one another will always&nbsp;keep them firmly&nbsp;connected.
