A & B

Anna and Brendan met for the first time in November 2015 at a friends-giving type party. At the time, Anna was a Freshman in her first year of college and Brendan had just joined the working force. Brendan tried to talk with Anna at the time, but of course 18 year old Anna thought 23 year old Brendan was too old for her... Over the next five years or so, their mutual friends bullied them on and off to go on a date. Come December of 2020, they both finally gave in and decided to give it a try -what was the harm?-. Their first date was at Hysteria Brewery where they spent almost 10 hours getting to know each other. This very same date, Anna texted her friends "He is perfect and I think he is my future husband". Fast forward into 2021, Anna and Brendan began their journey as a couple. 2021 was a wild year for the two with adopting Bentley, Bikini competition prep, Rugby, and the famous knee injury. That year Brendan showcased his care taking skills and won over Anna even more. In October 2022, Brendan ~finally~ asked Anna to marry him. Due to hurricane season and the ring delay, Brendan worked up a plan C engagement. On a rainy Sunday, before brunch, the couple went to take pictures under the gazebo on Main Street in Sykesville, MD. During the pictures, Brendan got down on his -correct- knee and popped the question. Without much hesitation, Anna said "Yes!". From then on, the frenzy of wedding planning has taken over their lives. Can you believe one interaction 9 years ago would lead to this? The couple cannot wait to finally celebrate their matrimony in June 2024 surrounded by their friends and family.
