Our Wedding

Five years ago, Rikki and Brandon had their first date at Buffalo Wild Wings. Little did she know, Rikki would marry the guy who was trying to get her to try the mini corn dogs with the “best sauce ever.” The date didn’t stop there. Rikki decided to drag Brandon with her to Hallmark and Michaels to find something for her grandma’s birthday. Who knew this random first date would turn into a lifelong dream. 

The First Date 

Fast forward a bit…Brandon and Rikki get an apartment together! The small town girl moves out of Bunker Hill! Then, they decide to add a furry friend: Helen, a (now) 13-year old cat…they didn’t just stop there. Pond, Mama’s favorite pupper dog, and Goblin, Brandon’s favorite guy, came next…all in a 2-bedroom/1 bath apartment… Rikki soon got tired of living in such a small space, and pushed for a house. September 29, 2022: Brandon and Rikki closed on their first home at the ages of 24 & 21! Next is their BIG year: their engagement year!

Next Few Years 

June 3, 2023: Rikki finally talks Brandon into letting her get her dream dog: a Golden Retriever! Rikki drives 2 hours away to pick up their new addition: Otis! June 4, 2023: Brandon leaves Rikki alone ALL day, so of course, Rikki is angry with him. Brandon comes home at like 6:30pm, cooks a steak dinner and INSISTS on sitting outside by the fire…not like it’s 90° outside.. He starts the fire, turns on some music, and says “I forgot my wallet in my car.” He leaves, comes back, and their song is playing. Rikki knew something was up. He gets down on one knee and pulls out a ring, and Rikki immediately starts bawling her eyes out…so much that she threw Brandon off and all he said was, “Well, will you?” In the end, Rikki says yes, the easiest yes of her life! Brandon and Rikki can’t wait to see what the future holds for them, and are beyond grateful they get to share their life with their loved ones by their side.

2023: THE BIG YEAR!
