From this moment, on...

Just two short months after a cross country move, Bradon noticed a new friend commenting on his weather posts. He had a mutual friend with this handsome young man and asked his friend Julie, "Who is this Timothy Fahnestock?" One of those comments sparked Bradon to message Tim, and very quickly he admitted he was just "finding an excuse" to reach out. A first date movie turned into a New York City December, a Chicago Valentine's Day and so much more. From Hawaii to Maine, Puerto Rico to California and everywhere in between, it didn't take long to find an excuse to buy a house, welcome a dog into the growing family and get married--in that order, no less!

Of course, the proposal had to be carefully planned (for reasons you'll understand shortly). By August of 2021, the time had long come for Bradon to ask Tim to marry him. With the assistance of Best Man, Tristan White, and his fiancée Chelsea Koerbler, they took a trip to New York City under the guise of celebrating Tristan's birthday. The Big Apple served as the first vacation that Bradon and Tim took together in December of 2016, so he thought that would be the perfect place to start their next chapter. But, they had to make sure they were dressed up for the occasion! They had to go to one of Tim's favorite places to celebrate! So, as they strolled into Central Park, Tim unexpectedly asked, "Oh my gosh, you're not proposing to me tonight, are you?" Stunned, Bradon said, "What the [expletive]!? No!" Tim: "Good, I would have worn a different outfit!" See what we mean about the planned part? Anyway, Tim took it to heart and was still somehow stunned when Bradon got down on one knee at Umpire Rock in Central Park. The tearful "Yes!" has led us here. We are so grateful and excited to share this next chapter of our lives with you! See you soon!
