Our "Mini" Wedding

Brandyn and Liz first met on Liz's first day of work at Target in Lakeville, Minnesota. It just so happened that Brandyn was her trainer for the day, therefore he was forced to listen to Liz talk or a whole 4 hour shift. After that shift, they stayed friends with small conversations as the months went on until Brandyn decided to take the next step and come in on his days off just to come hang out with Liz on her shifts. After about a dozen loaves of bread and cliff bars were bought by Brandyn at Liz's lanes, they decided it was time to start hanging out outside of work. They first hung out at the Burnsville mall, getting lunch and walking around like teenagers do to pass the time. Their first "date" was a coffee date to start the morning before Brandyns shift at Target. Liz missed him so much she came by on his lunch break and had a bite to eat with him as they planned what they were going to do AFTER work. After work they spent the rest of the evening at the Mall of America, where they got their first photo booth photo together. Then they spent the night watching the stars in Liz's parents yard on a blanket, chatting about how happy we were spending so much time together, and decided to make it "official" on April 22, 2017. Together they went to Prom and graduated High School and decided to make long distance work as they went to separate colleges. They survived college and a pandemic locked up together and even got a puppy, Dipper. They decided to move in together after Liz graduated college and Brandyn was finishing his last year of his degree when Brandyn started thinking about popping the famous question. For Brandyns birthday, Liz planned a weekend vacation to Phoenix, Arizona so they could escape the winter drag. After a strenuous hike to the Piestewa Peak, Brandyn got down on one knee to ask Liz to be his forever. Making that trip one they'll remember for the rest of their lives.
