Our story began in the tiny little town of Rutland, Vermont, the place Mahle was living at the time, and the last place either of us expected to meet the person we’d spend forever with. But somehow, that small town gave us the biggest surprise of our lives. We met through mutual friends, and from the very beginning, there was something different… something easy. We laughed together, had fun without trying, and felt a connection that just kept pulling us back to each other. The only problem? Brandon was living in New York. And to make things even harder, we worked completely opposite shifts. But love finds a way. Brandon would finish work and drive all the way to Rutland just to see Mahle for a couple of hours, even if it meant turning around and driving right back home to make it in time for his next shift. Those quick visits, the long drives, the tired mornings, those moments showed us just how much we already meant to each other. It was challenging, yes… but it also showed how deeply invested we both were. After seven months of distance, mismatched schedules, and endless laughter that kept us going, we decided to jump all in and move in together in New York. And from that moment on, we’ve been truly inseparable. More than ten years later, our love has only grown stronger. We’ve built a beautiful life, welcomed two amazing children, and filled our days with the same laughter and fun we had from the very beginning. And because we’ve never been afraid of new adventures, we packed up our little family and moved to Myrtle Beach, ready to create new memories and new chapters, together. From a tiny Vermont town to everywhere life has taken us, one thing has always been true: We choose each other. We make each other laugh. And we still have just as much fun as day one. Now, we’re beyond excited to celebrate the next part of our journey with all of you in beautiful Punta Cana.
