In 2014, at Virginia Tech, Brooke and Michael met during their first week as freshmen. They both lived in Slusher Tower, and their paths crossed during a group night out with other Slusher mates. Looking for an excuse to spend more time together, Michael often helped Brooke with her Chemistry homework. Within a month, their friendship blossomed into something more.

After five amazing years in school together, they graduated in 2019. Michael earned his Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering, and Brooke completed her Bachelor's degrees in Accounting & Information Systems and Finance. Right after graduation, Brooke began her career as a Financial Analyst at Capital One in Richmond, VA. A year later, Michael joined her in Richmond, starting his career as a Software Engineer at Capital One.

In 2020, they adopted their beloved dog, Remi, who instantly became the heart of their little family. They spent three wonderful years in their cozy townhouse, building their lives together. Then, in 2022, Michael planned a day Brooke would never forget. With Remi's help, he popped the question during a walk at Belle Isle, one of their favorite spots in Richmond, amidst the serene beauty of the water and rocks. Of course, Brooke said yes!

The following year was filled with house hunting, and in 2023, they finally found their perfect home. Now, they eagerly await September 1st, ready to embark on the next chapter of their lives together. As they look forward to their future, they cherish their time together spent golfing, playing board games, and attending sports games together.
