You never know what random interactions might turn into something beautiful! God has been working out a long, beautiful, and incredibly fun story for all of Audrey and Brandon’s lives, and here we all are to celebrate it!

Audrey and Brandon grew up in the same city, went to the same middle school, and lived about 5 minutes from each other for many years. They knew some of the same people, and Audrey lived across the street from one of Brandon's very good friends growing up. They may have met in passing, but they wouldn't realize it until much later.

They would go on to attend different high schools and colleges, and God continued to refine them and place them in just the right places to meet at just the right moment, creating meaningful friendships and maturing them in ways that would make them exactly who they both needed.

On November 21st, 2024, they matched on Hinge after Audrey’s short time on the app and Brandon’s not-so-short time on the app. He didn't know that God would pop his picture up to a woman who would look and recognize the man staring back at her, and the rest is history! Initial connections over Harry Potter, Dr. Pepper, dogs, and Tennessee Football became books of messages, which then turned into realizations of the many ways they connected and just narrowly missed meeting each other so often many years prior. They would both wait all day to respond and would look forward to reading and responding every night after work, their connection and excitement growing every day.

Brandon thought for weeks about what kind of date to take Audrey on, and it was winter, so his options were limited. On December 15th, 2024, they met at Coco's Italian restaurant in West Nashville and then went to Cheekwood to look at Christmas lights. They talked so much that the waiter didn't get to them for an hour (Sorry, sir!).

Fast forward two years, and here we are. Audrey and Brandon have made many memories at UT games, on trips, making new friendships, at concerts, at dinners (+ sweet treats, of course), grading papers, watching shows, and so much more. They have made so many memories and have met so many people that play vital roles in their life together. They have pushed each other to be better and have fallen more and more in love with each other every day. God has continued to grow and mold Audrey and Brandon into the people they prayed for growing up, and they are ready to continue their journey and see what God has in store for them!
