I created an OKCupid account on a whim. The next day I received a virtual wink from a guy in NJ who likes the yankees. Against my better judgement, I responded. We chatted for about a month and decided to meet for our first date. Brandon arrived late ( I thought I was being stood up) we had drinks, dinner at melting pot, followed by more drinks and conversation. Our first date ended up being hours long and ended with a kiss on my forehead. I wasn't sure if that was sweet or his way of letting me know that he was not into me. 11 years later and two weddings later, the jury is still out!

In May of 2019 we traveled to Ireland for a long awaited vacation with our good friends Johnny and Jordan. Before we left, as what happens with every big trip we have ever taken, all of my friend and family members asked, "Do you think Brandon is going to propose?!?". And I responded the same way I always did, "NOPE". So on our second day in Ireland, we make a quick stop along our journey in Donegal to see the Assaranca Waterfall. As we found our way to the waterfall, it was one of the most beautiful sites I have ever seen. Jordan and I ran out of the car and start taking pictures. Brandon and Johnny were still sitting in the car talking and we started yelling at them to come get pictures. As our picture is being taken, I turn around to say something to Brandon and there he is, down on one knee, holding a ring. I responded exactly how any woman who has waited 10 years for this moment would.... I screamed "DON'T F*CK WITH ME!" as I swatted his hand with the ring away.
