Brandon and Mari met unconventionally. They were on a double date with other interests. Most of the night was spent talking to each other from across the table. Simply friendly. A few months down the road Mari was seemingly devasted by her breakup with her ex, who went to boot camp with Brandon. Mari contacted Brandon out of the blue just to talk and they talked for hours. Their friendship took off soaring. Eventually, Brandon’s relationship with his ex took a toxic turn and Mari picked him up when he was down just as he had done for her months before. Their friendship evolved into an incomparable love. Mari closed the gap between them by moving to Willow Grove from San Antonio. A few months after that they bought their beautiful little house in Warminster and have made it a home together. Brandon proposed at Thanksgiving dinner. The family was taking turns going around the table saying one thing they were thankful for. When it got around to Brandon’s turn he got out of his chair, dropped to one knee and asked Mari to be his wife. Mari was shocked and all she could say was “no, no, no.. what are you doing?” With tears in her eyes, she finally said yes. Surviving the minor freak out, the evening evolved into a major celebration. They always thought they would catch the moment on video, better yet, it lives on in their memories forever!!
