Like every great romance, we met online during the COVID-19 pandemic! We were complete strangers, from two totally different worlds. We met on December 2nd, 2020. We spent one evening together and became nearly inseparable! The rest is history.
This isn't a traditional proposal story. We don't even remember the specific date! As we were facing the decision of an impending deployment, Brandon asked, "If I get deployed, do you want to marry me before I go?" Abbie being Abbie said, "That's up to you honey, I would've married you six months ago!" So the day came where we had to make the decision if Brandon was going to stay in the Army and deploy for one year or get out of the military... Needless to say we chose to stay and deploy, and at that exact moment we knew we were going to get married!
This was planned in less than three days with the help of several friends. We got married at a friend's home by their beautiful pond on October 11th, 2021, and it was the best day ever!
