Brandon and I’s families have been intertwined practically our whole lives. My mom and Brandon’s dad have worked together and been friends since the 90’s! At 13 years old, I met Brandon officially for the first time, and declared my love for him (lol). However—with our age gap, life took us into different directions for many years. Fast forward to ages 20 and 25, Brandon asks me on a date! We were close friends 2023, he asked me to be his girlfriend in Carolina Beach in March of 2024, and then his wife in almost the same spot over a year later, May 2, 2025! God has been so faithful, and had His hand in our relationship since the very beginning. We are so blessed. Brandon and I share three wonderful fur babies whom we love with all of our hearts: Stella, Hugo, and Little Man. B Merrells, Mexican, and Nonic are some of our favorite spots! Spending time with all of our loved ones brings us joy. We love to plan spontaneous weekend trips, but also love curling up on our couch at home snuggling with our fur-babies. We are so thankful and blessed moving into the season of marriage together! Glory be to God.
