Our Story is a story of challenge and love that has stood for partnership, healing, friendship, and most importantly growth. When our two fearful lovers first met one another, they had just been through some of the most testing times of both of their lives. All it took was an escape, and some friends, to bring them together. For those who don't know, the theater world has a tendency to draw people to one another, and Emily and Brandon had been revolving around each other for years without even realizing it. One summer day, as the New York Giants struggled in a preseason bout (not entirely shocking), Brandon and his friends scrolled through The Social Media as they sat in the stands. A face appeared, one, Brandon was not familiar with, but could not get out of his head. The start of their love story began with three little words: "Who is that?"

Brandon took to that smile instantly and decided to befriend Emily Fuller on Instagram. Then on Facebook...then on every other platform until he finally got the courage up to say Hello. It was weeks of small messages here and there until they finally set a date, a real date! Emily had been, and frequently still is, the busiest woman to try and get some time with, but this was it!

Brandon arrived to their first date with flowers and cider. She was even more beautiful in person than the digital screen could ever make her out. Emily wore knee high boots, an over-sized sweater, and looked like the most comfortable person in the world. Brandon...was shaking. The night consisted of conversation. So much beautiful natural conversation that they both felt they had known each other all their lives. They drank the cider, drank some wine, and popped in an Oprah Winfrey Cauliflower pizza. It was that night, like it was every day from then on, like being with your best friend and losing all track of time and presence. There wasn't a day where Emily escaped his mind. Next came the challenges.

Distance. A powerful villain. One that would plague their relationship for quite some time. But the love blossomed, and grew. Taking those small opportunities to travel and see one another. Months of weekend trips, long drives, and incredible memories. Soon they believed in love again. Trust, passion, and healing all sprouted, till finally they moved in together...

...the same month the world shut down.

Living and finding each other through a world that has changed was equal parts demanding and lovely. We found our family with Zeus and Tucker. We arranged our home together and created new passions with support for one another. We've found doing things together was much more fun and interesting. Brandon had found his life partner. Emily had found hers. When Brandon got down on one knee on the beaches of Mexico at sunrise and asked her to always be his partner and lover, the world stopped. His heart stopped. That millisecond between gasp and the word "Absolutely" (or "Oh my god, what the heck", depending on who you ask) was the longest moment of his life. They brought each other back to life and now their lives are starting anew. Together.

That fortune teller was right, "This new queen in your life isn't new at all. You find each other through every life you live."

We've found each other. Again and again.
