By chance, we both chose to attend an early college where students from high schools all over our county would attend. Our school was small and selective in regards to who could attend, and somehow, we both were accepted. We met during our freshman year. Speaking frankly, we weren’t particularly fond of one another. He thought I was mean, and I thought his long hair looked gross. Still, we ate lunch together every day because of mutual friends and made many memories. For those who knew us, it was certainly a surprise when we started dating during our junior year. What can I say, though? Even though Brandon could be annoying, I always thought he was the funniest person in the room, and cutting off his long hair certainly helped his case! We started dating on October 11th, 2012, and we had absolutely no idea that what we were entering would turn into what it is now. In 2014, we graduated high school and both decided to attend UNCW where we moved to start our college studies. There, we discovered hobbies, new friends, career paths, and just how much we loved each other. Fast forward to 2017, we found out we were going to be growing from just the two of us to a family of three. This came as a welcomed surprise and shifted our relationship dynamics quite a bit as any child would. Through the birth of our son in September of 2017, we learned so much about ourselves as individuals and what our relationship and family meant to us. It was October of 2018 when we decided to get married. We made this choice because we knew that this was what we wanted forever: this life with each other. We've changed tremendously across the nearly seven years we've been together. From being two goofy high-schoolers in love to entering parenthood side-by-side, we've started the life of our dreams with each other. We're excited to continue our lives together on October 11th, 2019 alongside our families and friends when we officially say "I Do!".
