We met in November of 2020 while both attending Presbyterian College. Brandon had posted a poll on his Instagram asking what the best Christmas movie was. I answered his question and then he messaged me. We texted back and forth for a couple days and then ghosted each other. After returning to campus after Christmas break, I reached back out to him, and we began texting again. We went on our first date in February and became official in May.

On July 4th, 2023, while at my grandparent's lake house, Brandon asked me to go on walk down to the dock with him. I said "No" as I was told that we were having a family reunion and was expecting my family to arrive any minute. He was very persistent, so I finally agreed. On the walk down to the dock, I noticed a big bulge in his pocket. I asked what it was and was told not to worry about it. We got to the dock, and he immediately got down on one knee. I was in so much shock that I started laughing hysterically. I turned around to see my family and closest friends walking down to where we were. After leaving him hanging for a few minutes, I finally said yes.
