It all started when Jordan worked with Brandt’s sister and, with a little matchmaking from his niece Lani, added him on Facebook. Casual chats followed, but neither was looking for love. No sparks. No drama. Just two people definitely not interested in each other. Then Brandt came home from Thailand and moved in with his sister. Jordan came for dinner. One drink turned into many, and suddenly they were spending all their free time together. But let’s be clear—they were not dating. Just ask them! (Just don’t ask Lani, Brandt’s niece. She knew better. and told everyone) From March to November, these two "non-lovers" somehow ended up living together, spending holidays as a duo, and meeting each other’s families. STILL not dating. STILL “just friends.” for Suuure. Then came the big goodbye at the Denver airport. Tears were shed (probably), hugs exchanged, and Jordan and Deb drove away… thinking that was that. Until four months later, when Jordan decided she was going to start dating. But before she did, she felt the totally normal urge to tell Brandt in person—so she flew to Thailand with Destiny. Casual, right? Spoiler: She didn’t come home with a new boyfriend. She came home with Brandt. Seven years, one move to St. Paul, a revolving door of beloved houseguests (Brian, Deb, Emma, Bryce, Lani, and Darrian!), and a few house remodels later and a cat… they’re finally making it official. About time, right?
