WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!

We met in our college speech class. I was shy and college was new to me. He could prepare his speech five minutes before class and get an A every time. We had to give a speech over a few things that we always carry with us to symbolize who we are. Braxton talked about his faith, red dirt country music, and baseball. All of which caught my eye. I gave my speech over water bottles and I don't even remember what else because I was so nervous. I only remember the water bottle part because I for some reason carried three water bottles to the front of the room where Braxton being Braxton said "wow three water bottles why so many" and me being nervous and awkward of course said "yep gotta stay hydrated" like a dork, and that was our first interaction. The next class period I got Braxton's name from our class sign in sheet and followed him on Instagram. A few days later Braxton messaged me on Instagram and still to this day I remember his sweet message. We talked all that night. The next day he told me he was going to save me a seat in class. He always got to class early and when I got in there he had the seat saved for me like he said he would. I was still nervous and awkward, so I walked right past him to sit in the seat next to a few girls I normally sat by in class. Braxton got up and brought all of his stuff over to an empty seat next to me and sat down. I felt so bad, but I was still so nervous. I was typing my speech, and Braxton was turned in his chair talking to me the whole time. Our instructor kept telling him to get to work, and I don't think I said but a handful of words the whole class period. We had a plan to hang out that night, and we did. Of course all the nerves went away after that. And he hasn't been able to get me to stop talking since. Xoxo, Bre

Braxton proposed at the Christmas tree farm! The whole family went, and I had know idea what was going down! We get there, everyone gets hot cocoa, and Braxton for once in his life turned down hot cocoa.. which was definitely not like him. Looking back now, I see why. Come to find out he was so nervous. I couldn't tell and he was playing it off well. We get to the Christmas trees and look around to pick one out. Everyone is taking pictures, and those of you who know Braxton know he does not like picture time. So I kept asking him if we could just get one decent picture to have and he kept telling me in a minute in a minute. Well at the time I thought he was just putting it off because he hates pictures, but really he had the biggest surprise of our lives. We get in front of the tree to take our picture, and of course I have to switch sides to have the picture of my good side. We have a video and all. Then Braxton gets down on one knee, gives me his whole proposal speech he had been preparing, it was absolutely perfect! And of course I said YES I WILL MARRY YOU! And then we were engaged!!! We are beyond excited to share our journey with you all! See you soon!
