Once upon a swim meet… Back in 2012, Brandon and Adriana first crossed paths as part of the Veterans Memorial High School swim team. Brandon, the quiet and reserved type, couldn’t help but notice Adriana rocking a surfing shirt one day. Mustering up the courage, he asked the all-important question: “Do you surf?” Adriana, who was just learning (and still a little terrified of the waves), laughed and admitted she was giving it her best shot—with a little help from her older sibling. And just like that, the spark was lit. What started as friendly chats on the way to practice quickly turned into shared snacks, inside jokes, and plenty of unforgettable bus rides. Before long, Brandon worked up the nerve to do things the right way—by asking Adriana’s dad for permission to take her on their very first date. The date? Classic: A movie followed by the finest dining Brownsville had to offer—Chinese Gourmet at Sunrise Mall. (Yes, it’s still their go-to!) Fast forward through the years, and their love story has only gotten better—with lots of laughter, adventure, and a whole lot of takeout along the way. Now, they’re ready to dive into their next big adventure: happily ever after as husband and wife. Thank you for being part of their story!
