Andrew and Brand met on the online dating scene. They decided to meet up for a round of mini golf. During mini-golf, Brandi sunk multiple hole in ones. Andrew thought this surely must be the one.
It all started with their Fourth of July vacation to Tennessee. Lots of memories that included country music and moonshine, but the best was yet to come. On July 7th, they made their way to Cades to Cove intending to see waterfalls and great mountain views, but Andrew had another goal in mind. Andrew planned on doing it before their hike, but the spot was filled with people and cars. He decided to wait and let God take the lead. The hike began with lots of up and down hills. They finally made it to the waterfall, enjoyed a snack, snapped some pictures, and enjoyed each other's presence. As they walk back to the car, Brandi pipes up, "You're not much of a talker today." Andrew replies, "I'm just enjoying the nature." She didn't know that he was in deep thought about when he was going to do it. They make it to the car and start driving off to explore more of the cove when Andrew pulls off the side of the road because he wants to get out and take another picture. Cades Cove is beautiful but they've seen and taken so many pictures of views, so Brandi wasn't sure yet what was so special about this place. She tells him “I’ll stay in the car you just make sure to take nice pictures of the wildflowers in the field.” Andrew thought how do I get her out of the car? The impatient person that Brandi is decides to get out of the car and take pictures of the wildflowers. As she gets out of the car Andrew pulls out a never used tripod and doesn’t even know how to use it. He says, "it had good reviews on Amazon. Brandi's reaction was you dummy, why in the heck are you bringing this out now when we could have used it the whole trip. Brandi helps him set it up so his car isn’t in the view. For some odd reason, the tri pod automatically starts recording a video. As Brandi fixes the angle Andrew gets attacked by a bug and it tickles her funny bone. She steps back to make sure the view fits them for pictures. He says “let me close the door so bugs don’t get in.” And that’s when he grabs it. As he walks up to Brandi, she looks and his pocket, the camera recording, and she begins to process……it’s happening!!! He get's down on one knee, and changes our lives forever.
