Brenda and Brandon first met in 2011 at the Sanctuary Hotel. Brenda was in her final year at Pace University while interning at the hotel. Brandon had just taken a hiatus from a previous concierge job and acting in the Big Apple. For the next two years, Brandon attempted to make his feelings known through flirtatious interactions, group excursions and work parties. It didn't seem to work. He finally mustered enough courage to ask Brenda out to dinner and a Broadway play….as friends. After a number of “friend'' dates, one humid night out with a crew of people, Brandon found himself alone with Brenda in front of a West Village bar. He decided to go for it...sort of...by asking permission to kiss her. Although she said it was not "a good idea," he went for it anyway. The next year, they accumulated countless dates, Brandon meeting Brenda's entire family (including her abuela from Peru) until those three simple words left their lips; “I love you!” Smitten and hearts in sync, the city was their playground to explore. Restaurant dining, helicopter tours, more Broadway plays, museums, Montauk, Long Beach, short getaways to the Poconos, Atlantic city and snowboarding trips to Vermont, to traveling west introducing Brenda to Brandon’s childhood home, Battle Ground, WA and seeing Dave Matthew Band in the Gorge. They were inseparable. In 2016, they moved west to California where their love would continue to blossom through numerous adventures; Zion, Yosemite, Joshua Tree, Paso Robles, Mammoth, Thailand, Vietnam. 8 years had gone by since their lips first met. Escorting Brenda back to that very same spot, he got down on one knee and asked permission one more time....to spend the rest of their lives together. We’re so excited for you to join us as we say “I do” on July 1st 2022. See you soon!
