Our Wedding

If you ask Brendan how he met his future wife, he will tell you that they were both feeding the same giraffe at the Lehigh Valley Zoo and it was love at first sight. In reality, the couple met online. Brendan was reluctant to date at the time, but Ana was relentless, and determined to meet the Lehigh Valley Musician, she attended his gig with the Erin Kelley Band at Musikfest in 2021. Brendan says it was the guitar playing (behind his head, too) that captured Ana's heart. In reality, it was this line from his dating profile that led her to swipe right: "If I won the lottery, I would buy a huge mansion and adopt all of the shelter dogs who don't have homes." Now they own three adorable rescue cats together.

How We Met

Brendan proposed in his music studio in their beautiful home in Bethlehem. Ana was cooking and listening to her favorite true crime podcast (shoutout Love Murder!!) when she jokingly asked for the 87th time: "Should we just get married already?" To her surprise, Brendan dropped to one knee and pulled out the ring. They got engaged on November 12th, 2023 while wearing their snuggies, and they promptly called their family and friends with the exciting news.
