We met after Jessica moved to McKenzie Bridge to work for the Forest Service in 2018. Brandon, was working in Oakridge at the time but would come up to McKenzie on days off to visit his house and friends. Jessica, was impressed by Brandon's sense of humor, his drive, his sweet dog (Charlie), and of course the red hair! We bonded over shared degrees, working for the Forest Service, love of food, board games, gardening, swimming, and a love of animals! Our relationship has grown through living in different cities, snow storms, fires, power outages, owning chickens, hiking, bonfires, and so many other adventures. Since we started dating in August 2018 some of our favorite adventures have been a road trip to the Redwoods and Northern California Coast. A trip to Mexico, South Carolina, Yellowstone National Park, Washington D.C and trips to the Oregon Coast! In 2023 we bought our first house, in 2024 we got engaged, and this year we will be married! June 7th is a special day because on June 7th, 1959 Jessica's maternal grandparents were married, and 2025 will be Brandon and Jessica's seventh year together. There will be magic in the air! We are so excited to share our day with all of you and cannot wait to celebrate! *Fun Fact: Every year on Valentine’s Day Brandon and Jessica spend the day making homemade pasta.
