How We Met

10.17.21

We like to tell people, as most do in these times, that we “met through friends!”, but really, the credit is to Bumble. From the first texts back and forth, we knew it was meant to be. We had the same family values, faith convictions, and interests. We spent many a night on the phone for HOURS, and planned our first date to be getting tattoos together. If you know us, you know that’s a match made in heaven. ◡̈

The Proposal

7.2.23

We went on our dream trip to the Smokey Mountains in Tennessee. One morning, as we were looking through the coupon books in our Airbnb, one jumped out to Brandon: A scenic helicopter tour over the mountains! We got ready, made our flight reservations, and headed to our tour. As we were up in the sky admiring the breathtaking views, Brandon said into our headset mic, “I want to take our relationship to new heights,” and PULLED OUT A RING! We can’t wait to celebrate this long awaited day with you, and thank you so much for supporting us along the way!
