Mark and I met back in high school, actually to be more specific we met in marching band. Yes I know we are nerds!!! Come to find out many years later we both liked each other in high school, however we were too scared to tell each other. Fast forward 10 years, Mark came up to me in a bar and said, “hey did you go to Marana, and is your name Brandi?” I looked at him slightly confused and said yes, he then told me who he was and I immediately remembered that he was that tall cute guy in the percussion with amazing blue eyes! He then gave me his number and told me that I should go watch his band play sometime. Several weeks later I decided to reach out and we started talking. Mark then asked me to go to band practice with him, which I considered a date, come to find out it was a bbq/band practice at Bert's house (our officiant), where I met many of his friends and even his dad. Well, here we are over 2 years later planning the rest of our lives together!!! Over the last several years we have grown to love many things together such as; the beach, skiing, the renaissance festival, wine tasting, hiking, sporting events and brewery/food touring, to name a few. There is no one else either of us would rather experience these things with. We can both truly say that we are very lucky to have met someone that we can call a best friend to share our lives with!
