Although they went to the same college at UWRF and had many mutual friends, Brandon and Miranda didn't actually meet until after college. Brandon was the manager and bartender at Lucille's in Prescott, Wisconsin. Miranda had just moved back in with her parents from Minneapolis and needed an excuse to get out of the house. After visiting Lucille's for dinner a few nights and having some conversations with Kimberly, the owner of Lucille's, Miranda thought bartending would be a fun side gig. Little did she know that Kimberly was scheming to hire Miranda in order to keep Brandon around (at the time he let Kimberly know he was likely moving on to a new job). Apparently, he had a little crush. He began training Miranda and they had many fun nights bartending together. Insert Kimberly again, because she conveniently "couldn't attend" a beer tasting event in Green Bay, Wisconsin, which Lucille's HAD to make an appearance at. After a 4 hour drive there, many beer tastings, wine, shots, and vodka sodas, Brandon had finally mustered up the courage to blurt out "I have a huge crush on you," to which Miranda replied, "I kinda like you too." Brandon did NOT like the word "kinda", but don't worry, they cleared it up. Green Bay led to some drinks after bartending shifts, which led to first dates, and fast forward to getting a dog, then buying a house AND getting engaged in 2022.
