Emma and Brennen met through their mutual friends, Carson Oleary and Bradley Rosenblatt. In need of a date for a fraternity party, Brennen asked Bradley for help. Coincidentally, Bradley's girlfriend Carson had a single friend who was available. Brennen reached out to Emma, and they made plans to meet. When the party day came, Carson and Emma drove from the University of Tennessee to the University of South Carolina, where the boys attended school. As a true Tennessee fan, Emma blasted "Rocky Top" as the girls approached the house. Brennen and Emma exchanged an awkward hug, fumbled over words, went to the party, and the rest is history. Brennen and Emma have been inseparable since that November night in 2021.
