Hanna met Brandon one night in the fall of 2019 through a coworker. The first introduction was professional and they both left the encounter thinking nothing of it. Then, in February of 2020, Brandon was baptized. He shared his testimony and a video on Facebook. At the same time, Hanna was going through a really dark time. Inspired by his video, she reached out asking if they could get together and talk about God. And that’s really how the story starts. They both admitted up front that we weren’t looking for a relationship. For months they prayed, read the Bible, surround themselves in biblical teaching, and attended church together. From their mutual love for God, grew a mutual love for each other. Brandon helped open Hanna's eyes to the Lord and a true understanding of salvation. And in October 2020, Hanna was baptized. Then on December 22nd, Brandon invited Hanna to their favorite coffee shop, bloom n bean in lakeside, for a coffee date. He was waiting with flowers and had already ordered her drink. They sat down, he leaned in, and very seriously said “Hanna, I need to talk to you about something.” What a way to start a proposal! He told her about the work God had done to make him a better man and how thankful he was that God had brought her into his life. He got on one knee and asked her to marry him. So for many, 2020 was rough. But for Hanna and Brandon, it was the best year ever.
