Broderick and Autumn first met at Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Tx where both of them were kinesiology students. Broderick was a first-semester grad student who was in charge of teaching an exercise physiology lab that Autumn happened to be taking that semester. The following semester, Autumn participated on a student quiz bowl team which Broderick was helping out with- from there they established a friendship. A few months later and the two were dating, and it was not long after before they were madly in love with each other. After a year of dating, Autumn moved to Louisiana for medical school while Broderick moved to Texas A&M to pursue his Ph.D. and they have been doing long-distance ever since. After almost three years of dating, Broderick FINALLY proposed under the Century Tree on Texas A&M's campus. They say if you get engaged under the Century Tree your marriage will last forever- so thank you for celebrating our forever with us!
