Brant and Elaina's story began with a playful “twist of fate.” One day, Brant's cousin and Elaina's long-time friend, Lexi, decided to play matchmaker by adding Elaina to Brant's Snapchat. She had mentioned to Lexi that she thought Brant was "cute." From that moment on, their story began to unfold in the most unexpected yet beautiful ways.

Their paths intertwined during a pivotal time—Elaina was navigating her freshman year of college while Brant was starting his career. Despite the new experiences, they took a bold leap into the relationship.

Through the years, Brant and Elaina moved through the chapters of young adulthood, from one apartment to another, each filled with stories and small victories. They each introduced fresh perspectives into one another's lives. Brant showed Elaina the experience of a morning in a deer stand and the proper way to make a tostada. Meanwhile, Elaina infused Brant’s life with a sense of fashionable logic and incorporated more vegetables into his diet.

Today, you can find them enjoying their first home, where the backyard fills with the playful barks of their dog, Colt, and the smell of Brant's latest creation wafting from his smoker. Their days are painted with laughter, an occasional tear of remembrance, and the quiet moments of reflection that bind them closer after 6 years of being together.

As they prepare for this new chapter as husband and wife, they are deeply grateful for the support of their friends and family. To their incredible friends, who have shared many beers and journeys with them, they have loved watching you all become parents, teachers, and professionals. To their beloved family, who have never hesitated to show up and would give their last dollar to see them smile—thank you from the bottom of their hearts.

They invite you to celebrate their love, marking the start of a future filled with more adventures and cherished memories!

Gifts are in no way required, nor expected. The company of our family and friends is all we desire for our wedding!
