Brandon and I started out as friends and finally began dating in the summer of 2023. For a while, we had a long distance relationship while Brandon was stationed in Virginia with the Navy and I was home in Florida. It wasn't always easy, but we made it work. We would plan visits, spend time with each other’s families, and make the most of every trip. That taught us a lot about commitment and communication and it brought us even closer. Over time, our relationship continued to grow through everyday moments. Going on dates, laughing together, spending time with friends and family, and talking about the future. We built a relationship on friendship, support, and enjoying life together. On December 5th, 2025, Brandon proposed in New York City! I was completely surprised, while our family and friends had been in on it the whole time. It was a special, unforgettable moment for both of us! Now, we’re looking forward to celebrating our wedding and starting this next chapter together!
