We met on a blind date for my sorority’s trip to the Haunted Trails at Balboa Park. The theme was hillbillies, so we showed up in ridiculous costumes, ready for a spooky night. But, of course, I (Miranda) managed to lose our tickets! Instead of panicking, Brenden just laughed and said, “Let’s make the best of it.” We ended up sitting on a park bench, talking and laughing for hours. That night wasn’t what we planned, but it turned out to be perfect. Fast forward a few years, and Brendan proposed to me on that very same bench. We had a courthouse wedding in 2021, and Halloween has been our favorite holiday ever since. One year, we even got spooky tattoos together! Now, we spend our time adventuring outdoors, working out, and spoiling our fur babies—Lana, Fred, Sophie, and our fish, Gary and Misty. We’re always pushing each other to try new things and step out of our comfort zones. And now that we’re married, we’re ready to have the celebration of a lifetime! On September 13th, 2025, we’ll be celebrating our love with our closest friends and family. We couldn’t be more excited to share this next big moment together!
