We’re getting married!

In 2015 Brennon and I were both in college living in the same apartment complex. He was working at Ingles, the local grocery store, and so was my roommate Alecia. Brennon and Alecia became good friends and she introduced us to each other. All of his friends and all of my friends slowly started hanging out together and we all got closer as time went by. Summer 2016 Brennon took me on our first date to Red Bowl. He was super nervous and I don’t think I was ready for a relationship yet. We were on and off that summer and it was all because of my indecisiveness. He moved on and got a girlfriend that fall. I was still single. Seeing him with a different girl didn’t make me feel great. They eventually broke up late fall and he invited my friends and I to his friends’ tailgate for the Clemson Carolina game. Game day my friends and I walk around for hours looking for Brennons tailgate, he had given us the wrong directions. He felt so bad he gave away his game ticket and came with us downtown Clemson and hung out with us instead. That gesture, for me, sparked more interest in him. I found myself wanting to be next to him the rest of the night. December 26, 2016 he asked me to be his girlfriend and on February 12, 2017 he told me he loved me for the first time. May 29, 2022 Brennon proposed. We were at the beach with my family and he had secretly told my mom to get ready to take pictures, but didn’t tell her of what. Brennon and I are walking on the beach he gets down on one knee and proposes everyone on the beach is telling us congratulations. We go up to our condo and my family missed the whole thing! They had no idea what he meant and had been taking pictures of the sunset in the opposite direction! Over these almost 6 years together we’ve been to so many new places, graduated college, gotten two dogs totaling 3 and a cat, lived in 3 different houses together, and seen each other in every type of situation life could throw at us. The friendship Brennon and I had, set the foundation for our relationship and I’ve never experienced a love like this before. I can’t wait to marry my best friend!
