Carleigh and Brayden first met on June 5, 2021. Neither of them expected their lives to change that night, but from the very beginning, something just clicked. They connected on Hinge and decided to meet in person, and what started as a casual introduction quickly turned into something much more meaningful.

Carleigh has always described herself as a quirky, energetic, and spirited person. She was her authentic self right away, and Brayden was drawn in by her joy and bold personality. It didn’t take long for them to realize how much they had in common,not just in humor and interests, but in the way they made each other feel truly at home.

They never really had a specific date when they “officially” became a couple. It just naturally happened. The first time Carleigh met Brayden’s dad’s side of the family, they called her his girlfriend, and she happily went with it. Later that night, she told Brayden they should make it official, but she wanted to choose their anniversary. Her pick? National Catfish Day, as a joke about how they met online (she swears she didn’t actually catfish him).

About a month into dating, Carleigh knew Brayden was the one. Once he felt comfortable enough to fully open up, it was non stop laughter, dance parties in the kitchen, and surprisingly good celebrity impressions. While Carleigh’s big personality could be a lot for some, Brayden met her energy with his own in the most perfect way.

Today, they share a home full of love, laughter, and furry companions. A very enthusiastic dog named Tucker Toast and three cats: Slade, Snips, and Sushi.

Carleigh and Brayden are overjoyed to be starting this next chapter together and can't wait to celebrate their wedding day surrounded by all the people who have supported them along the way.
