Our story began in May of 2021 when a mutual friend introduced us during a busy work day. We ended up going out on our first date that night!

After going on a few dates, Brandon called me to say he was in a bad car accident. He called to let me know he was okay, but I still drove over there to make sure. When I got to his house he told me he slipped up, and told the cop at the scene that he had to call his “girlfriend” to let her know he was okay, then looked at me and said “so I think that means we’re boyfriend and girlfriend now”.

About a year of cabin trips and adventures, we found out we were pregnant, a blessing in disguise. Our sweet boy Ryder arrived November 2022.

In March 2024, we took a family trip to Florida. We had planned a beach day at Englewood Beach. On the way there I had joked to Brandon about something saying “I know we’re never getting married but…”. While at the beach we played in the water, built sand castles and enjoyed the sun. After a while Brandon and I decided to take a walk and try to find some shade for Ryder. It was a nice quiet walk on a shaded boardwalk. We had stopped by some benches just looking at the scenery around us when Brandon got down on one knee asking if I’d marry him. After asking a few times if he was actually serious, I obviously said yes!

Brandon and I appreciate all of the love and support we’ve gotten over the last 4 years. We are so grateful and excited to give everyone a night of dancing, food, drinks and fun! We can’t wait to celebrate this day with all of you!!
