We Eloped!

Brandon and Arlisa’s love story began at the University of Tennessee at Martin, where they met as undergraduates and began dating in 2010. Though life eventually led them down separate paths, God had a greater plan in store. Years later, He reunited them but this time on a foundation rooted deeply in love, faith, and trust. In 2022, Arlisa accepted an exciting career opportunity in San Jose, California. Before long, Brandon followed, and together they began a new chapter. California became the place where their bond grew stronger than ever, and on June 15, 2025, Brandon asked Arlisa to be his forever in a stunning rose garden! It was an unforgettable moment in the place that brought them back together. Soon after, the couple returned to their hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, where they became first-time homeowners and continued building a life side by side. As they planned their wedding, their hearts were drawn to an intimate elopement before the year’s end centered on love, faith, and the presence of their closest family and friends. God has been their source through every step, making the day even more meaningful. Though we chose to do it our way, we are so grateful to share our joy with you.
