Viv's cousin had a party one day, so she went and saw this super cute boy so of course in Viv fashion, she walks up to him and extends her hand out to shake his hand and introduce herself. Braden and Viv exchanged names and she awkwardly walked away, lol. A few months later they went on a date and dated for a little over a month, but they grew apart romantically, Braden enlisted in the Army, and Viv went to college and worked. They stayed close friends, and they would see each other when Braden would come back home on leave. They both dated other people, but over the course of almost 4 years, they stayed in touch and would always just keep each other updated on their lives. Braden came back home for good in October 2020. Viv was newly single, so of course she was living at the beat of her own drum and was big chillin'. A month later Braden comes over to Viv's new apartment to bring her a housewarming gift and they watched 3 whole movies (Yes they actually watched these movies all the way through while Viv nerded out talking about the actors, directors, etc)!! Braden finally told Viv that he's never stopped liking her and has liked her for years and he wants to be with her (cue intermission, lol). Maybe a few weeks later, they became a couple, and the rest is history. They are best friends, they know how to be the peace for one another, and they just emit such a beautiful love for each other. They can't wait for you all to see them become husband and wife and continue to be a part of their shenanigans.
