Our Wedding

Who would have predicted that our initial meeting at work nearly a decade ago would ultimately bring us together? Our first encounter was in 2015, and it was through our workplace that Brian mustered the courage to ask me out. Our inaugural date took place on October 25, 2015, at Applebee's. At the time, neither of us was seeking a serious commitment. Fast-forwarding to October 2019, Brian extended an invitation to me and Braiden to cohabitate with him and his children. We decided to seize the opportunity to integrate our families by sharing a residence. In April 2024, Brian initiated a conversation regarding the possibility of my adopting his surname, to which I responded that I would only consider it in the context of marriage. On July 4, 2024, Brian proposed to me during the Niagara Falls fireworks display. Following the show, he waited for a moment of seclusion before popping the question. I cherish that moment deeply. We eagerly anticipate exchanging our vows on October 25, 2025, a date that marks the tenth anniversary of our first date. We look forward to celebrating this momentous occasion with our loved ones at Kruse Plaza.
