Our Wedding

Our Story

It all started in high school—English class, to be exact. One of us was a natural, and the other might’ve needed a little help. But somewhere between The Orient Express and essay deadlines, something clicked. Our first outing was technically “as friends,” but we both knew pretty much immediately that it was more than that. From then on, we were inseparable— spending lunch breaks together, late-night phone calls, and all the awkward, sweet moments that come with young love. Over nearly five years together, we've grown side by side. We’ve weathered life’s ups and downs, learned each other inside and out, and built a relationship full of laughter, love, and mutual understanding. Then came the cruise. For Brayden, it was cruise #6. For Brooke, cruise #4. But this one was different. On the top balcony in the main foyer, in front of a crowd of cheering strangers, Brayden got down on one knee—and of course, the answer was YES! Now, we’re so excited to start this next chapter together—and we’re so happy to have you be a part of it.
