How they met: Trista became a Super for the freshman orientation program at Purdue, and Braden became a team leader in Trista's group. This is their first picture together shortly after they met.

Trista chose Braden to work the check in table with her during BGR 2019. Little did Trista know, Braden secretly had a crush on her during this time.

Trista went to visit friends at Purdue over the summer and found herself hanging out more and more with Braden.

Braden and Trista finally admitted to liking eachother the summer of 2020. They facetimed almost everyday due to Braden being at Purdue, and Trista being home. The countdown was on until Trista got back to school. This picture is from the first day of classes. The two became inseparable at this point.

Earlier in the day Braden went to a park and hid flowers and chocolate. Later in the day he took Trista on a walk there, and asked her to be his girlfriend.

The two spent the summer living at Purdue working and basically living together. As summer came to a close it was time to say goodbye to the house where it all started.

Trista and Braden moved in together in Indianapolis where they would start their post grad journey soon.

Braden and Trista graduated college!

It was time to pack up and move to Ohio for a new adventure where Trista would start working at Cincinnati Children's Hospital.

After settling in Ohio, the two felt there was something missing. Maverick became the newest addition to the family, and the two can't imagine life without him now!

Braden decided to pop the big question at Ault Park in Cincinnati where they would go and take walks with their dog. It was a simple, but perfect proposal with just the two of them. Exactly how Trista imagined it would be.

Trista grew up going to Disney, Braden did not. Trista changed that quickly once they started dating. They have been to Disney together 3 times now! It is safe to say Trista has turned Braden into a Disney lover!

Braden and Trista closed on their first home together, officially making Indianapolis home! (for good!!!)

Trista and Braden found the spot where they will be saying "I do" come April 2026.
