It all began in 2017 when Brandon and Lila met in calculus class at POHS. Their journey together officially started when Brandon asked Lila to his junior prom, marking the beginning of a beautiful relationship. From that moment, they’ve been inseparable, building memories that will last a lifetime.

In high school, their first date at the bowling alley sparked a connection that grew with every shared moment, from Lila cheering Brandon on at football games and wrestling matches to countless adventures together.

After graduating, they both attended Lock Haven University, where they pursued their dreams of becoming teachers. At Lock Haven, their love grew deeper during study sessions, football weekends, and ice cream dates at the local Ice Shack.

Over the years, their relationship has been filled with adventure. They’ve enjoyed trips to the beach, road trips to Columbus to cheer on Brandon’s beloved Buckeyes, and visits to Happy Valley to support Lila’s Nittany Lions. Spur of the moment nights often led to Pittsburgh for Pirates games, creating more memories.

They’ve shared many firsts, including Brandon’s first concert, where they discovered their mutual love for country music. One cherished tradition has been their annual trips to see Christmas lights, an activity that always brought them closer together.

In a moment straight out of a holiday fairytale, Brandon proposed to Lila in front of the Christmas tree while they wrapped presents. It was the perfect symbol of their love—simple, heartfelt, and surrounded by the joy of the season.

Now, they are thrilled to take the next step in their journey together, and they can’t wait to celebrate this special chapter with all of you!
