Rudy and Brandon met in November of 2021. Our first date was at Townline Cider Works in Elk Rapids and we connected quickly through our shared interests in trying new ciders. Brandon just finished his Masters in Tuba Performance from Western Michigan University and Rudy just finished her Master in Social Work at University of Michigan. A majority of the time we would go on dates in downtown Elk Rapids, go to Brandons many performances across the state of Michigan, as well as spend time with family and friends. November of 2022 Brandon and Rudy decided to move down to East Lansing, Michigan because of the great job opportunities. Rudy works at Hope Network Neuro Rehabilitation where she is a medical social work care manager for adults with traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries. Brandon works at MSU Federal Credit Union and remains an active musician in Northern Michigan performing in the Gaylord and Alpena Symphony Orchestra. November of 2023 Brandon proposed to Rudy at Townline Cider Works where they first met. We look forward to you being a part of our marriage and all of the great memories to come.
