In 2017, Krista and Brandon had an opportunity to work at a Fidelity branch in South Florida. Although assigned to different branch offices, we had a couple of meetings to prepare us for the experience. Everything was strictly business after brief introductions during our preparation to work in a branch office. After returning to Jacksonville when the opportunity ended, a mutual friend planted the seed that Brandon should ask Krista out for a drink. Their first date was in September 2017 and the rest is history!

After a year of living together in North Carolina, Brandon decided it was time to propose. To throw Krista off the scent, he promised that after passing the CFP in a few months, they would be engaged. Knowing Krista's favorite holiday is Christmas and she loves celebrating big milestones with her family, Brandon created a date night in St. Augustine during the Night of Lights. At Krista's favorite St. Augustine bar, The Tini Martini bar with a secret photographer and Christmas decoration and lights everywhere, Brandon got down on one knee and popped the question on December 21, 2019.
