Q + A

Two individuals who found contentment in their lives soon realized that their lives would forever change from one text to 37748 (iykyk). Brayden and Rachel met through their church. Brayden reached out about launching a 12Stone Home gathering and Rachel was the one who took everyone through training. We tried our best to keep it professional, but everyone knew our true intentions... After three weeks of training, the conversation never stopped. Then started the 4-8 hours a day filled with FaceTime calls until the wee hours of the mourning. We were hooked, just one problem... we had never met in person and were over 2,000 miles apart! After three endless months, Brayden was in Charleston celebrating his mom's birthday and took a flight down to Atlanta. Brayden had never been to the South, but knew how much Rachel loved surprises, so even though he had never been he planned their whole first day together! What he didn't know is that he planned to go to dinner at a restaurant Rachel had always wanted to go to. At dinner Brayden went to the bathroom for way too long in Rachel's eyes... what she didn't know is he went to the kitchen, not the bathroom. He went to tell them he had flown cross-country to meet this girl and wanted to see if they could do something special to help him make their relationship official. Shortly after he returned they brought out dessert with a massive candle on it. Once the waiter left, Brayden said to Rachel, "If you want this to continue moving forward and become official you blow out the candle. If you want to wait to continue to see how things go just wait and I will blow it out." Of course, Rachel instantly blew out the candle! 48 hours together. 48 hours that forever changed both of our lives. After that trip, we planned out the rest of the year making sure we got to see each other every month, (except for one two-month span, but we won't talk about how awful that was...) We went to Savannah, Washington, Atlanta (in August), Destin, FL, Las Vegas, Georgia, and finally Washington. We left from the Oregon coast and traveled through Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, South Dekoda, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Tennessee, to Georgia to move Brayden for his new career. What Rachel didn't know is the ring was in his backpack the whole trip. For the next three months every week, Rachel asked what the timeline was for engagement and Brayden got Rachel good! February 10, 2024, soon became their favorite date... It finally happened Brayden proposed. Brayden did a great job of making sure Rachel wouldn't think it was happening that day thanks to the support of a lot of our friends and family being in on it.
