In the heart of a bustling YoungLife camp, amidst the clatter of pots and pans and the aroma of delicious meals being prepared, two souls found each other in the most unexpected of places—the kitchen.

Annie and Brandon's first encounter was nothing short of serendipitous. It was ten years ago when they met in the camp kitchen at Washington Family Ranch in Oregon.

Annie, with her radiant smile and warm demeanor, immediately struck a chord with Brandon, whose gentle nature and quick wit captivated Annie from the start.

Brandon at the time was coming out on the weekends and unbeknownst to Brandon, Annie was writing about him in her journal (True story) They laughed together, shared stories of their lives outside of camp, and bonded over their love for good food and even better company. Little did they know, their chance meeting in the kitchen would set the foundation for a friendship that would withstand the test of time.

Over the years, Annie and Brandon remained close friends, despite the miles that sometimes separated them. They stayed connected through their love for NeedToBreathe, the occasional catch up via text, and seeing each other at camp while Brandon worked out there 2015-2020.

Then, a year ago, everything changed. Annie and Brandon and their friend Josh went to a Wilder Woods concert in May and Annie was certain that night there was something different in the air. A few weeks later the texting began and it really never stopped. Brandon invited Annie to spend the 4th of July with him and his friends and they ended up talking for 3 hours after and went on their first official date four days later and it was then when Annie and Brandon realized that their feelings for each other had evolved into something more profound. They have truly become the dearest of friends and both make each other laugh so hard. They are honored to have you join in their testament of love on June 2nd! Hope you bring your party pants!!
