Our story began at Kent State University in 2019 — though, funny enough, we were around each other long before we truly met. We shared the same friends, hung out in the same places, and crossed paths countless times without realizing what was waiting for us. It wasn’t until Anna started noticing Brandon’s sense of humor, warmth, and easygoing nature that something clicked. What began as small moments — a shared laugh, a lingering conversation, a familiar face across the room — soon became something much more. Study sessions turned into study dates, dinner plans became something to look forward to, and each day brought us a little closer. On December 6th, 2019, we made it official — the start of our favorite chapter yet. Even as college came to an end, our story continued to grow. Brandon graduated in 2021, and still made the trip back to visit Anna until she graduated the following year. After Anna’s graduation in 2022, life brought us into a new and exciting chapter together. In 2023, we bought our first home together in Berea, Ohio, where we’ve built a life full of love, laughter, and countless little moments that make “forever” feel easy. From the early days on campus to the life we share now, our story has been one of growth, joy, and endless love. As we look forward to our wedding day, we’re reminded of just how far we’ve come — from two college kids to two best friends building a forever together. This is only the beginning of the rest of our story, and we can’t wait to celebrate it with our favorite people! Here's to forever together!
