It all began on a rainy Friday night when Thomas helped Elizabeth move out. There was no U-Haul and plenty of stairs, but they worked side by side from 4:00 p.m. until after midnight. Along the way, Thomas saw that Elizabeth was not only beautiful but incredibly hardworking and upbeat. He loved every minute. Later, she surprised him with a thoughtful, handwritten thank-you card.

Just before the clock struck midnight, Thomas made the bold move and asked Elizabeth out. (He knew if he waited until January, someone else might beat him to it.) They met for coffee at Sago—yes, on New Year’s Day—because nothing says “new year” like caffeine and butterflies. It was technically a first date, but they stayed and talked about life for hours.

They spent time getting to know each other: walks and bike rides on the beach, talks, double dates, and laughing at inside jokes only they found funny. They became the best of friends—until one day, they weren’t just friends anymore. July 2024 Thomas officially joined the Brazier family beach trip. The sun was shining, the waves were crashing, and everyone realized: yep, this is definitely something special.

June 28, 2025 On a beach at sunset, with a perfect rainbow overhead (we know, it sounds fake—but it’s not), Thomas got down on one knee. Elizabeth said yes! Cue the happy tears, hugs, and a surprise celebration with friends who were all in on it. And Now... We're getting married! We’re so excited for this next chapter in life and can’t wait to celebrate with each and every one of you. Your love and support mean the world to us, and we feel so lucky to share this joyful season together
