The Beginning of Forever

The funny thing about paths is they only have to cross at a single point, however, for many years, they may run parallel until that special moment when they eventually cross. Brandi and Brian grew up just one side of a state away, from Overland Park, Kansas to St. Louis, Missouri. During a trip to St. Louis from Washington, DC, they met, by chance, through mutual friends over brunch and noticed they shared a few commonalities. They exchanged numbers and later found out they had parallels in strong family values, midwestern living, festive family traditions, and even sharing the same five letters in both of their first names. A few texts developed into four-hour Zoom calls (Brian didn’t have an iPhone at the time lol) and two-hour flights back and forth from STL to DC, where Brandi was living. Over time, they shared a love for travel, had intimate conversations over food, planned surprise dates for one another, hit every ice cream shop you can imagine, and much more. Brian eventually closed the long-distance gap and moved to DC, where the love graduated. After spending one year in DC and three years after their paths initially crossed, Brian decided it was time to take their pandemic relationship to the next step. He proposed to Brandi on July 1st, asking her to spend forever with him. And now we’re inviting you to be a part of our #B&BForever love story! Join us in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, as we start down a new path in our lives. Thank you for supporting us along the way. We look forward to seeing you soon and can’t wait to celebrate with you!

For all the days along the way
