Braxton and Courtney's journey began while volunteering for Crestview's Youth for Christ Ministry. It was Courtney who made the first move, texting Braxton to ask for his mailing address so she could send him a "Christmas card." Their first date was at Cheddar's restaurant in Fort Wayne, followed by a competitive game of bowling. They ended the night at Braxton's family house, enjoying pie and a fun-filled Nerf gun battle. A fun fact about their story is that before their first official date, Braxton was Courtney's nurse at the ER. He brought her a bouquet of gorgeous flowers, making a wonderful first impression on his future in-laws!
