Tianna’s perspective… “It is funny how the stars align and people enter your life at the most imperfect yet perfect timing. Bradley did just that. I was about to graduate from graduate school at Wash U and was headed off to continue/begin my Architectural career. But little did I know that choice to attend graduate school in St. Louis Missouri would have lead me to meeting my soon to be husband.” Bradley’s perspective… “The universe truly has a very unique way of bringing people into your life. My career as a Respiratory Therapist had just started and my mindset and focus was all about work. Any energy outside of work I had put towards self improvement and accomplishing my goals. And just when I thought that was where all my attention was … she changed everything. One morning after work I stopped to get some coffee and that’s when I laid eyes on her. So I decided to take a chance and I convinced her to grab a coffee with me—- & that's when our story began. I never would have thought the woman I met randomly at a coffee shop would end up being my soulmate.”
Bradley and Tianna's first date almost didn't happen. He pretty much tried to stand her up haha -- but if you ask him that part of the story never happen. Either way, the date started and ended at The Loop in St Louis. Tianna had been wanting to try a new restaurant that so many people spoke highly of so they decided to go --- and the food ended up being terrible hahah ! It was the first and last time either of them ate there. But it became a blessing in disguise because leaving the restaurant led to them finding a cute table outside under the stars to simply talk. One topic lead to another and then 6+ hours later they looked up and realized they were the only people in sight. Everything had closed. As they ended their night going off their separate ways -- they both knew at that very moment how special whatever "this" was could be....
Bradley popped the question on April 6, 2021! While he was planning and getting everything ready --- Tianna was distracted and at the nail salon with Megan (maid of honor). Bradley knew to enlist Megan and her mother to helping with the proposal because Tianna doesn't miss anything---typically. The plan was to have Megan join Tianna on a girls night out --- which was a normal activity that the two did regularly. Tianna truly had no idea he was putting together the biggest surprise ever for her. The two of them had recently purchased their first home together and he felt that would be the perfect location to share this memory together. While Bradley set up everything with Tianna's mother at the house, Tianna was enjoying her mani-pedi. But at some point Tianna got a notification on her phone about their house alarm going off. So naturally she was concerned...since to her knowledge, Bradley was supposed to be at work that evening. And only their furrbabies Chloee and Echoo were at home. So she mentioned it to Megan and Megan acted concerned ( the lies haha ) . Tianna made her way home...in a rush. But with a million thoughts going through her head----none being a marriage proposal. FYI, anyone that knows Tianna knows she is protective and prepared, or at least tries to always be. As she pulled up to their home she was instantly looking for some sort of object or weapon in the garage---- just incase there was a intruder in their home. The closest object she was able to grab at the time happen to be a screw driver haha (no judgement) But as soon as she opened the door and walked into the house she was presented with a pathway of rose petals and lit candles all over the first floor of their home..then came Chloee and Echoo with two adorable bandanas on....she immediately smiled and felt her heart calm down .... but she also laughed and tossed the "weapon" aside so he wouldn’t see it. Especially now that she had put two-and-two together. She followed the candles and rose pedal pathway as she heard one of their favorite songs playing in the background. As she made her way to their back patio, there stood Bradley standing inside a heart shaped circle of rose petals, ready to ask her to be his wife. Large 'Marry Me' letters lit up the night behind him and there stood her mother off to the side smiling and recording. Plus a big screen video zoom call with both of their families there to watch as well. (it was covid-19 times and the fact that he still included them some way meant everything to her) Everything was truly beautiful. After she said YES and they celebrated with family and friends Tianna filled him in on her arrival and what "she thought" was happening and they drank champagne and laughed together throughout the night. He told her he wasn't surprised---she was always ready to protect their family and home even when he constantly reminded her he would always do that. The night was perfect🖤
Before there was a Tianna and Bradley it was Tianna and Chloee. The one who started it all. She was her first dog as a adult and stole her heart 10 years ago. So when Bradley came into their life, She knew if Chloee didn't approve of him --- there would be no Tianna and Bradley :) . But luckily, Chloee loved him and he showered her with love. So their family of two became three. Then came Echoo... He may have that tiny corgi body but don’t be fooled….Echoo is a personality as loud and proud as any large 100lb dog. He has added a level of laughter to their family that changed everything.... Lastly, due to unexpected events, the gang of 4 grew to 5! A Little back story --- some years ago Tianna rescued Bella and gave her to a family member whom had her for several years. Recently, she made her way back into their lives and has been the final doggie addition to the household. Though their family has grown more then expected, she is truly the sweetest thing and made their furrbaby family whole.
Where have Bradley and Tianna traveled together ? - Ohio - Virginia - West Virginia - Tennessee - California - Arizona - South Carolina - Mexico - Pennsylvania - Illinois - Oklahoma
Bradley and Tianna made their first big cross country move out to Arizona in 2018 from St. Louis to pursue new chapters in their careers. And though they eventually made the tough choice to leave sunny Phoenix, Arizona, they made that choice with love, growth, and family in mind. Arizona taught them a lot about themselves, their careers, and their future relationship goals. So don't be confused --- they absolutely recommend everyone taking a visit out to Arizona---- though its crazy hot, its full of memories and new experiences.
"a place where you feel you belong and your WIFI connects automatically " Homeownership was something these two talked about from the beginning of their friendship. They had many conversations about what it meant to take such a major step towards accomplishing a goal they both had always dreamed of. Fast-forward to 2020 they purchased their first home together with the help of their realtor Staton, and genially enjoyed the process. As you can image, Tianna was in heaven looking at homes while designing in her head + on paper all the possibilities of what they both wanted. Its true when they say "everything happens for a reason"--- And they continue to take pride in waking up in a house they can now call a home along side their furbabies. Just wait till they build a home--- it'll be epic :)
