Brandon and Melissa's love story seems almost destined. Their story emphasizes the power of connection, the role of timing, and the beauty of love that brings us together.

Brandon was born in the suburbs of LA, and Melissa was born in the suburbs of Chicago. Each of their families brought them to Rogers, Arkansas in early childhood, and they're both incredibly grateful for it! Growing up in this charming town, they shared the same backyard, yet their paths never crossed... until fate decided to play matchmaker.

It was in college when the digital world bridged the gap, that Brandon and Melissa met. A simple message on Facebook sparked a conversation that would change the course of their lives. (okay, he slid in her DMs..) Their first date, though fleeting, left an indelible mark on their hearts. Brandon was captivated by Melissa. He admired her drive in school, their shared love for wellness, her caring heart, and of course how beautiful she was. Yet, as life often does, they were pulled in different directions. Melissa’s passion for travel and education led her on adventures far and wide, while Brandon dedicated himself to building a career.

Their lives intertwined once more when Melissa returned from her travels. Brandon's persistent charm won Melissa over, and their official love story kicked off when he invited Melissa to his TQL holiday party in 2016. Melissa was enchanted by Brandons kindness, manners, hard work, leadership, passion, and what many describe as his 'heart of gold.' And so, their magical love adventure began.

The years were filled with shared laughter, supportive gestures, unwavering devotion, and a ton of fun! Life's next journey took them to Dallas, TX in 2022, where Brandon popped the big question. Their engagement not only marked a new chapter in their love story, but also solidified their unwavering commitment to each other. They're now eagerly anticipating countless more adventures together.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8:

Love is patient, love is kind.

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
