Welcome to the Royal Occasion: A Kearse-Odom Wedding!

One of those rare Tinder success stories, Christopher and Bradly met after both hesitantly swiping right on each other’s profiles. While visiting a friend in nearby Tampa, Florida, Bradly, who lived in Orlando at the time, matched with Christopher on the infamous app and they decided to start a friendship. After meeting in person 6 months later, what was intended to be platonic eventually blossomed and turned out to be the best thing to happen to them both!

The night before their 3 year anniversary, Bradly told Christopher to make sure he was dressed in a very particular outfit for the next day. He had no idea what for, but Bradly being the fashion lover he is, Christopher knew he had to make sure this outfit was just as requested. So he spent all day running around town looking for a blush colored shirt to make the outfit perfect. When he arrived at home, he was told that they weren’t going anywhere at all. Bradly had planned a surprise couples photoshoot at their home. But this actually wasn’t “the surprise”. He was blindfolded and told to wait in the living room for a text. Once he got the text, it led him outside to see a row of cars parked. Confused at first, he turned the corner. At that moment reality set in and the emotions started flowing. Bradly had surprised Christopher with his best friends from Tennessee. His friend Chelsey was holding the first scroll that began their love story. As he continued to walk, each of Christopher’s friends and loved ones held a scroll that continued through the past 3 years of their relationship. When he made it to the end, his person was waiting for him with a final scroll. Bradly dropped to one knee and before he could get the ring out of his pocket, Christopher said YES!
