Growing up in the same home town we always knew of one another, but had never met. When we eventually crossed paths it was at the end of our collegiate careers through mutual friends. Kristen was throwing a party at her parents house, Brandon attended (uninvited) with said mutual friends. We instantly hit it off and ended up going on our first date two days later. Our first date was in Stillwater and it has since been a special place to us both, which is why this is where Brandon decided to get down on one knee. On December 10th when we finally make it official we will have been together 6 1/2 years, but for us no amount of years will ever be enough. So here’s to forever!
