We're tying the knot.

We met like your normal American hard working couple trying to make ends meet. Christian was working as the lead line cook at Big Willy's, and Brandee was the beautiful new waitress with that intoxicating laugh and smile. We hit it off right away instantly cracking jokes and little flirtacious pokes at one another. There was this undeniable spark that neither one could deny and everyone around them saw. Soon enough Christian gathered the guts to ask Brandee to go out with him and a couple of their now mutual friends and surprising enough to him she agreed. They went out for drinks and games one night where Brandee proved her ability to whoop his ass in both shooting darts and cracking back with some pretty gnarly comebacks that got even him to shut his mouth.... It only took that one night and both of them knew they wanted to experience more of the same feeling they had found that night. Through every step they found someone that wanted only to work to make the other happy no matter the sacrifice that had to be made for one another. Now nearly 4 years later they are inviting all of you to experience the love, happiness, and joy that they bring one another.

We were on our yearly trip to South Dakota to see some of our closest friends. Everyone rented this amazing cabin together so we could relax and let loose. After dinner in Deadwood everyone secretly rushed inside to help get the mood in the cabin set. You could see the snow on the mountain outside with all the surrounding cabins lights glistening off of it. Christian had planned for everyone to be set in different areas camera ready for the moment that would hopefully change both of their forever's. As Brandee walked in with nervousness in her eyes at the obviously different setting then she had been expecting, Christian stood in the middle of the darkened Livingroom with the fire in the background. The setting was perfect, it was just the two of us, or so Brandee thought... Christian awkwardly smiled at her as she stammered herself trying to understand what was happening. He stumbled to find the words to even begin speaking, even after planning that moment for over a month after asking her parents permission. He looked at her one more time, tears forming in his eyes, he started telling her how he had never been able to even imagine that moment. Never thinking he was going to find the "one" to make him feel so loved. He then told her that over the past couple years how his love had grown... watching tears form in her eyes as his grip on her hands tightened. He got so nervous his hands started to sweat. Taking the breath out of his chest. He slowly bent down on one knee.. taking every second to experience her gaze as she started to gather more and more of what was happening. This was it... as he looked up at her tears now steadily coming down from her beautiful eyes. He slowly pulled the ring out gently grabbing her left hand. As he asked "Will You Marry Me" she was already nodding her head and relaxing her fingers so he could slide the ring onto her finger and then he grabbed her in a tight squeeze as she cried into his shoulder.. the best moment of his life...
