Brenna and Richard's Story
Richard and Brenna met at UW-Green Bay through a campus ministry called Chi Alpha. For their first two years at school, they were friends and spent a lot of time together in bigger group settings. It wasn't until Fall of 2021 when Richard and Brenna began dating.
Richard graduated while Brenna was still in school, so they spent a lot of time traveling to see each other. There were many happy hugs on Fridays and sad goodbyes on Sundays. There was not a sadder goodbye, though, then when Richard left for India. They spent a lot of time on Google Meet calls, staying as close as they could.
Richard finally returned to the United States in June of 2024 and quickly put plans in motion to propose to Brenna. On July 29, 2024, Richard asked the question where they first met, UWGB.
Brenna and Richard are so excited to spend their special day with you and can't wait to celebrate their love with all their favorite people.
