Funny enough, Sam Henry (one of the groomsmen) introduced Brendan and Anna at their university's annual lighting ceremony back in 2015. Brendan noticed Anna almost immediately that night. Anna, however, remembers first meeting Brendan at church one Sunday morning. Throughout the next several months Brendan became increasingly interested in Anna, especially as many family ties started to be uncovered (if you want to hear more about that cool connection, ask the bride or groom). Anna remained completely oblivious to his interest and considered him a close friend. God began growing and changing both Anna and Brendan throughout various trials and circumstances throughout the next year, and in the spring of 2017 Brendan began pursuing a relationship with Anna. As Brendan can attest, Anna is a very slow mover, but on January 6th, 2018, they both committed to dating one another. The next year and 2 months proved to be amazing as they grew closer to Christ and to each other. Then, on March 21st 2019, Brendan took Anna on a hike up to Max Patch, NC, and proposed to her in the whirling snow! After many tears of happiness and questioning "am I really old enough to get married??" Anna joyfully agreed to become Brendan's wife. We can't wait for you to join us as we turn the page to a new chapter of God's story for us on our wedding day!
