**How It Started** Brandon and Jasmine's incredible journey began on August 21, 2008, at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign. Despite a rainy freshman move-in day, the storm clouds parted for the Black House Annual Welcome Party. It was here that fate brought them together. Over the next four transformative years, they forged a close friendship, sharing unforgettable lunches at Mia Za’s, navigating challenging courses, and enjoying countless moments of laughter. After graduating in 2012, Brandon and Jasmine returned to Chicago, where their strong friendship laid the groundwork for something more. They decided to become roommates, and it didn't take long for the bond to deepen into love, culminating in them becoming an official couple. In the following years, they achieved milestones together, earning their Master’s degrees, purchasing properties, and celebrating the arrival of their handsome son, Brandon Jr. **The Proposal** For Jasmine’s 34th birthday, Brandon orchestrated a breathtaking surprise trip to Las Vegas, with front-row seats to the unforgettable U.S.H.E.R. residency concert. Brandon whisked Jasmine away during their first night in the vibrant city to witness the mesmerizing Bellagio Hotel water show. He knelt and proposed at that extraordinary moment with the spectacular fountains as a backdrop, while a photographer captured every magical second. Jasmine’s joyous “Yes!” echoed their love and started a beautiful new chapter in their lives.
