Our story began in the summer of 2019 when mutual friends brought us together at a friend’s house. As we got ready for the night in Seattle (specifically, to get some Dicks burgers), Bailey was sneakily capturing candid shots of Brandon to share with her friends—because how could she resist sharing a picture of that cute guy? What started off as a light-hearted gathering quickly revealed an undeniable spark between us.

Fast forward to our first date at the movies, which was a delightful mix of excitement and awkwardness. Picture this: Bailey, trying to pierce Brandon’s ears in the parking lot, while Brandon also chose to sit with his buddy instead of next to her during the movie. Classic young love! But from that moment on, we dove headfirst into discovering each other—each day felt like a new adventure waiting to unfold.

We shared plenty of memorable moments, like the time Brandon grilled Bailey with questions while we were locked in a car together. We also shared our families on vacations, where we truly tested our compatibility. And who could forget the two weeks we spent quarantined together during COVID? If you can survive that, you can survive anything!

Then came July 10, 2019. In a Safeway parking lot, Brandon asked the great question: “Will you be my girlfriend?” After a moment of nervousness, she answered with a heartfelt yes. That day marked the beginning of our lifelong partnership.

We’ve learned so much from each other, shared countless laughs, and grown together in ways we never imagined possible. Our wedding day is just the beginning of our shared adventure, and we’re thrilled to embark on this next chapter with all of you by our side!
