Our Wedding

<p class="ql-align-center">Branen and I met during the fall of 2014 where we were each attending UCO. Branen was involved with his fraternity, Sigma Nu, while I was involved with UCO Cheer and had just come off a national champion winning Freshmen year. It is traditional at UCO that for Homecoming Week all the fraternities and sororities perform a 2 minute 30 second "Cheer and Dance" where one fraternity and one sorority will be named the winner. Most fraternities went to some of the UCO cheerleaders for help. I had helped Sigma Nu the year previously but just with stunts, this year I came back and co-created/coached their entire routine. Branen and I grew a close friendship over this time and I think we slowly fell for each other. It was so easy to be with my best friend and every day has been that way since.</p>
