We know most people want to see a flawless love story when they hear how a couple headed into matrimony developed, but we are realists and we will keep it real! We met by chance in a small town with many close relations through business and social media, and decided to grab a bite to eat and get to know each other better. We ended up spending a lot of time together after that night, dodging kids to keep our relationship under wraps until we knew each other well enough to know we would be in it for the long haul. We knew very soon on that our relationship was special; we had the same views, same morals, similar goals, and we couldn't get enough time together. So, we made it official and introduced our families. Blending families came easy, our children clicked right away, and we got to learn a lot through each other. As many of you know, Brad is country, Maegon is City, so it was exciting to introduce each other to new things.. Maegon got to experience her first bonfire birthday party with a hanging elk head, Brad has to suffer through the horrific "fake gangster" California music that Maegon insists on playing in the car, and we have to compromise on our meal planning, since Maegon is picky with meat, and Brad rarely agrees to any vegetable on his plate. But that is us, learning to love through the compromise. Our relationship is like a flower that bloomed from the ashes, since we found each other during a time that we were both learning to heal, and had very little trust, and thus it took a long time for us to prove to each other that not every situation is the same and we could build a foundation built around trust, respect, and most importantly Loyalty. For the last two years, we have learned how to work together to co-parent and tackle every obstacle that comes with blending two lives together that come with so much complexity. It's rare to find someone you trust with your whole heart, and so we have decided on forever..
