A week before we both graduated high school, our paths unexpectedly met. We were instantly captivated by each of our personalities, goals, and wisdom. We had a month and a half to get to know each other, as best as we could, before Brandon started a new chapter in his life in the military. Through the months of letters and random phone calls, our love grew rapidly and deeply. Throughout the next four years of college, military life, long distance, FaceTime calls, text messages, time differences, and special homecomings, we built a strong foundation for our relationship. We have overcome challenges together while still loving each other more. This wedding represents a new beginning in our lives filled with unity and excitement. We are ready to celebrate the joining of our lives-- at last! Our story will always be our greatest reminder of, "Love never fails".
