Our Wedding

The story of Andrea and Brandon begin in their early years of high school in 2016 meeting through mutual friends. Andrea first caught Brandon’s eye at a get-together at her home playing billiards and epic battles of Super Smash Brothers. As Andrea Destroyed Brandon in every game, the conversations that took place with each butt kicking he endured he began to see the beautiful and amazing woman in front of him and has yet to look back ever since. Throughout college, Brandon and Andrea stayed friends and dated off and on but most of all fell harder for each other with every moment spent together. In 2020 Brandon and Andrea reconnected and have been inseparable since. One of their fondest memories of each other is walking down the beach for hours watching the sun set. Hearing the beautiful waves crash in the dark as they walked, they became lost and almost swallowed by the sea in a washout that divided the beach in half. Of course, the beautiful couple were on the wrong side of the washout... Luckily the two found their way home by finding an oddly shaped sand castle they had built many hours prior that morning. Brandon proposed to Andrea in 2021 by asking her to marry him after she had a long and hard day at work. He asked her to come into the spare bedroom moments after she got home to help him move heavy furniture which she was not very happy about. But on her arrival to the door frame of the bedroom, there was no furniture to be moved or any work to be done. Brandon was down on one knee in the middle of the room and asked her hand in marriage and for Andrea to make him the happiest he could ever be! Needless to say, Andrea said yes and was so surprised! Thank you for reading a little history about us and we can not wait to see everyone at the wedding ceremony and reception in November!
