They met back in 2016 at Valor High School. Brandon was two grades above Ryan but she and her friends would say "what's up Smith" all the time in the hallway. Yes, Ryan did in fact think his name was Smith. Fast forward to 2022, Brandon randomly reached out to Ryan to ask her to go to the Maverick City and Kirk Franklin concert. Ryan and Brandon stayed close friends and kept in touch over the next couple years. They realized how much they enjoyed the time they spent together and how they are genuinely each other's best friends. Since then have grown in love for each other!
