Brad and I were introduced at a mutual family friend's birthday party. We had a few different conversations that night that we really enjoyed, but as the night ended we went our separate ways without getting each others phone numbers. However, the next day we reconnected via social media and exchanged our numbers to each other. It had appeared we both couldn't stop thinking about the encounter we had together. After the fact, we had several wonderful and fun dates together. Brad officially asked me to be his girlfriend a little over a month later on top of a ferris wheel at our local fair. We have been blessed to experience and create the most wonderful moments together in the years leading up to now. In November 2024 Brad asked me to marry him on a cabin trip in Maggie Valley with our family, and surprised me with some of my best friends hiding to celebrate with us after. As our love continues to grow and flourish, we are so excited to be joined together as one with all of our favorite people beside and around us.
