Our Story

Thirteen years in the making

Brent and Alanna met in high school. Alanna was an exuberant kid who wore crazy costumes to school and carried a camera everywhere she went. Brent was a goofy, wannabe novelist who owned a few too many Iron Maiden shirts. Through the years, they grew closer in friendship, forming silly and dramatic memories together. In her senior year of high school, Alanna started to develop a little crush on Brent. Due to timing (and young Alanna stirring up drama), it never quite worked out romantically for them--at least for the next three and a half years. Alanna and Brent stayed best friends through all that time, talking almost every day, until one night they went to a house party together. Brent was Alanna's designated driver and, after a bit too much tequila, Alanna once again professed her love for Brent. She asked him if they would ever be together. He politely walked her to her door, answering, "maybe someday…" The next day, they had a long conversation about their relationship. Overwhelmed with emotions, Brent and Alanna were finally acknowledging the feelings that had been bubbling between them for so long. Being responsible 21-year-olds, they decided to take things slow. So naturally, their first date was Alanna's dad's wedding. Super casual, right? They fell hard and fast for each other. Seven years and two cats later, Alanna and Brent love each other more than they could have ever predicted in 2009. Never getting sick of talking to each other and spending time together, and making each other laugh every day. Alanna and Brent are so excited to be married and share this momentous occasion with you. Thank you for joining us on this journey!
