Brandon and Nicole’s story began in late August 2024, when a connection on Instagram—thanks to the encouragement of the best man, Kevin—sparked what would become a lifelong love story. After a month of witty banter and getting to know one another, they went on their first date on October 4th, starting at Salud and ending at El Patio, a Cruces classic. From that day forward, they were inseparable, both feeling certain that this would be the last first date either of them would ever have. A little over a year later, on December 24, 2025, surrounded by Nicole’s family on a beautiful winter day in Zermatt, Switzerland, Brandon asked Nicole to marry him. To his great relief and joy, she said yes. Since then, engagement has been even more meaningful and exciting than they imagined. Together, they’ve traveled, created countless memories, welcomed three more fur babies into their family, and dreamed about the future they will build side by side. Brandon and Nicole are overjoyed and deeply grateful to celebrate this special day surrounded by the people they love most. Thank you for being part of their journey and helping them begin this next chapter together.
