Unexpectedly, on April 7, 2018 Braden chose to change Emily’s life forever with one-four word question, “Will you marry me?” Emily was a student at the time, and it was her parents first visit to campus. We had decided that day to take graduation photos at the memorable spots on campus before the hectic month of May. As we stood at the lion shrine, Braden got down on one knee and popped the question!! Emily was in utter shock and kept interrupting him with the reapeating question of, “Are you seriously doing this right now?” Through the interruptions Braden quoted lyrics from our favorite song and asked Emily to be his wife! You’ll hear that very song when we dance together for the first time as husband and wife! Penn State now has an even bigger place in our hearts as we fondly remember where our jorney began!
