Our Wedding

Our story begins where it seems all recent love stories do: matching with a total stranger on a dating app. Little did we know, however, how fast we would no longer be strangers to one another. Thanks to a certain event in early 2020, our first encounters and conversations would have to take place over phone calls and video chats. But this gave us the opportunity to get to know each other on a personal level and build an early connection. Once we were able to finally meet in person, the relationship quickly grew into something meaningful and natural. We found ourselves falling more and more for each other with no effort and being true to who we were. We both knew that this relationship was unlike ones we had previously experienced, and that the sky was the limit. Fast forwarding to our time in South Carolina, Brandon finally came to the realization that it was time to make an honest woman out of Emily. In front of friends and family, in one of our favorite spots, he asked her to be his forever and she couldn't say "Yes" fast enough. What started as a chance encounter online had finally reached what it was always meant to be: us finding each other. Over the last three years, we've experienced so much together: laughs, tears, and everything in between. And now, we cannot wait to share our love with all of you as we become husband and wife.

Wedding Party

Q + A

Over the past few months, we have picked up a new hobby - line dancing! Going almost every week, we’ve found the fun in good country music and exciting dance steps. After many living room practices (our poor neighbors), watching countless YouTube videos, and becoming regulars at our local saloon, we thought it would be a fun idea to share it with y’all at our wedding! But don’t worry - we want to give everyone the chance to prepare and fully enjoy the fun that it brings us. Below are YouTube links to the three dances that we have chosen to be played throughout the wedding reception. We hope y’all will find as much joy as we do. Look forward to seeing everyone on the dance floor when these songs play!

Copperhead Road - Steve Earle:<a href="https://youtu.be/VQu2iQeYU5Q?si=tviiQD8lh7F1Zsx4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/VQu2iQeYU5Q?si=tviiQD8lh7F1Zsx4</a> It Ain’t My Fault - Brothers Osborne:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6AFkrSRdYU" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6AFkrSRdYU</a> A Bar Song - Shaboozy:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLkqWNXJNQM" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLkqWNXJNQM </a> BONUS SONG:Raised Like That - James Johnston:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uZQXYwzke4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uZQXYwzke4</a> Some of these videos are full-speed demonstrations that can be slowed down, but most of them are step-by-step instructional videos. The bonus song is considered a High Improver /Low Intermediate dance, and is on the tougher side! So if you are up for the challenge we would love to see you out there!
