Our Love Story

We went to grade school together for 7 years, before meeting miles away in college. I was away at Bridgewater College when Brandon reached out to ask me on our first date. Our first date took place in Staunton, Virginia. We had lunch at the The Depot followed by walking around the town. It felt easy and smooth like we had known each other for a long time. I told Brandon I was not ready for a relationship at that point in my life as I was focused on finishing my education. After meeting, we spent every moment we had talking on the phone getting to know each other. 5 years later, we are excited to stand in front of you and start the beginning of spending every moment building our life together.
