The Pendleton Round-Up is famous for many things - world famous cowboys, fast racing cowgirls, boots, blankets, and booze. Typically, love is not something that finds itself on the Pendleton Round-Up list, but for Brooke and Charlie, it makes the very top. Brooke and Charlie met for the very first time at PRU 2014. With the help of many friends, Brooke and Charlie met during the nations oldest wild west show. After the show, Charlie impressed Brooke with his phenomenal beer pong skills, and later, with the help of Brooke's high school best friend Chloe, he eventually worked up the nerve to ask Brooke to dance. The next day, Brooke and Charlie had the time of their life together. Brooke convinced Charlie to face his fear of riding the ferris wheel, and the two spent the night at McKay reservoir watching the stars. The following morning, Brooke went back to San Luis Obispo, CA to finish her undergraduate degree, and Charlie headed for McCall, ID to work for the local state park. For the next four years, Brooke and Charlie's relationship spanned thousands of miles and braved many different educational and career experiences. The two supported each other through undergraduate degrees, professional degrees, and a masters degree before Charlie convinced Brooke to pack up a U-haul and move back to Bend, OR with him in June 2018. On September 14, 2018, four years after their first dance, Charlie snuck Brooke back up to the McKay Reservoir where he asked her to dance and got down on one knee. Lucky for them both, she said yes! We thank you for being such a big part of our lives, and we hope you can join us to help us celebrate this next chapter!
