Welcome to our future

Laura Cook

and

Brandon Poole

June 6, 2026

Gaines, PA

How we met

Lived in the same area, went to the same school, and never once met. 18 years later, at a church campfire, we sat across from each other and chatted for a bit. The following weekend, Brandon was refereeing Laura's team's soccer game. Hey there, stranger, Laura said with a big smile on her face. Labor Day weekend, he asked her out for dinner to discuss how poorly he had performed at the soccer game he had refereed for her, and well, the rest is history. They fell in love, combined their households' pets, and even acquired their third Great Dane. They share many things in common, such as cooking, camping, traveling, TV, and movies, as well as building with Legos. If you haven't seen the videos or the photos, head over to Brandon's Facebook or TikTok and see what they have been up to. After two years together, Brandon decided to ask Laura for her hand in marriage at the 49th annual Dickens of a Christmas, and, of course, she said yes!
