Brandon and Hannah met through a mutual friend in Kansas City, MO while Brandon was stationed at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas and Hannah was in Pharmacy school at UMKC. Brandon asked Hannah on a date soon after they met and Hannah jokingly said, “only if you shave your mustache.” Their first date consisted of a planet sub picnic at Loose Park where Brandon did in fact not have a mustache. They immediately had a connection full of banter and love. They started officially dating soon after on July 30th, 2021. They revisited the same spot on October 11th, 2023 in which this time there was a ring and a furry friend with a bandana that read, “Will you marry my dad?”
