We met at Chilifest which is a big country festival that happens every year in College Station. I'm from the area but have surprisingly never been to Chilifest before. I went to the festival with a couple of my Texas State friends and they happened to have mutual friends with Brandon. I saw Brandon in his overalls and I knew I needed to meet this guy. My friends introduced us and we hit it off from the very beginning. A couple weeks later Brandon drove all the way to San Marcos on a Tuesday for my 21st birthday. Right then and there I knew he was the one for me. A week later he asked me to be his girl friend right before my Texas State ring ceremony and we've been together ever since.

I thought I was having a "girls day" with two of my best friends. We ended up having the best day and going to dinner at the Oasis on Lake Travis. I was sent up a staircase that looked like it was leading to the clouds to find Brandon standing there on a balcony overlooking all of Lake Travis. He took my hand and led me to the middle of the balcony in front of the entire restaurant and asked me to marry him and of course my answer was "YES," and we were engaged. It was the most beautiful night I could have ever asked for. Everything was so perfect! Now I get to marry and spend the rest of my life with my best friend. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you. See you in Canyon Lake!
