we're getting married!

Hannah and Brandan's story begins at a cozy Italian restaurant in Arlington. A first date that lasted so long the staff eventually (and very politely) hinted that it was time to go home because they didn't want the evening to end. What was meant to be a simple dinner quickly turned into three hours of nonstop laughter, shared stories, and realizing they had the same sense of humor. One date turned into two, then three. Before they knew it, they were officially dating, traveling together, attending weddings as each other’s plus-ones, and becoming regulars at family gatherings. Life felt fuller and more fun with each other in it. Two and a half years later, Brandan began quietly putting a plan into motion. He mentioned a set of beautiful, hidden gardens in Georgetown, and Hannah eagerly suggested they visit that weekend. What she thought was just a fun day in DC, celebrating the city before their move to Richmond, was actually a day carefully planned by Brandan that ended with him down on one knee. Now, on their three and a half year anniversary, they cannot wait to celebrate their love with you all, their closest friends and family!
