They met up north, living just a few houses apart. One afternoon Brent stopped by to tell Vanessa about a lake association meeting (he skipped over the part about dues - smart move). That simple driveway conversation grew into something much bigger. Since 2010, Brent and Vanessa have built a strong partnership. Brent is always in motion - building, fixing, and helping bring Vanessa’s grand ideas to life. They fill their days with projects, weekends at the lake, travel, personal growth and plenty of laughter. They’ve quietly built something lasting - blending families, friendships, and a shared love of always moving forward together. When Brent asked Vanessa to marry him, he chose the very spot where it all began - that same driveway up north. He pointed to the ground and said, “See that?” Vanessa looked around, slightly confused. Brent smiled and said, “It’s where we met.” After a somewhat extended engagement, they’re excited to gather the people who have been part of their journey and celebrate the next chapter of a story that started with a simple neighborly visit.
