We originally met in high school through a mutual friend, Alyssa being in 9th grade and Brandon in 11th grade. It was a bit of an awkward conversation in the beginning, however we continued to talk everyday through small conversations. We would ask how each others' days were going and daily would discover we had many mutual interests. As the school year passed, we became closer and closer, talking to each other in the hallway before and between classes. The first spark ignited during the first segment of Driver's Education, of all places, with Brandon making the first move asking to spend more time together after school and on weekends. We would walk around town and take in the scenery while talking about life. Our first official date was at the Candlelite Bowling Alley in Bridgeport, where we had a lot of fun bowling together and it eventually became a favorite spot to go on Wednesday nights. We continued to spend more time together, going to the movie theater in Birch Run and other events in Frankenmuth. Once Brandon graduated high school, it became a little bit more difficult to spend time together as Brandon was working almost full time and attending college. However, we prevailed and were able to spend more time together once Alyssa graduated high school and started her college journey. We supported each other throughout our college adventures, which included taking some classes together and doing homework together. We eventually went to separate colleges to pursue our specialized programs but always loving and supporting each other through the sometime rough road of College life. The big question was asked on February 25th, 2021, while on a vacation to Disney World to celebrate our 4 year anniversary, and Alyssa said yes!!!! (yay!). From that day on, we have been preparing for our very bright future together as Mr. and Mrs. Mayo.
