Brandon and Sierra first met at Mid Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union. Brandon had worked in the Kingston branch as a Teller Supervisor and Sierra was hired for a Teller position. After working at the Kingston branch for two years, Sierra transferred to the Saugerties branch. After regretting leaving the Kingston branch, Sierra reached out to Brandon to ask how things were going for him. With plenty to talk about being in the same workplace, they caught up on recent events the Credit Union had going on. Brandon and Sierra started their journey together with many dates to the movies, dinner and just riding around the town of Saugerties. They drove every back road they could possibly take home so they could spend more time with each other. Once they started to spend time together, they were inseparable. After months of talking and going on dates, Brandon took Sierra to the Grandview for a night out on the town in Poughkeepsie and a nights stay. A day trip followed to New York City where they became an item in Central Park.
Brandon and Sierra decided to go to the Dominican Republic on vacation in May of 2016. Brandon had planned to propose to Sierra in the Dominican Republic on their second day there. Nervous was an understatement for Brandon. He had everything planned out and was just waiting for the right moment. Planned was a day at the spa- a couples massage, rose petals, champagne and just the right amount of courage to ask the love of his life to marry him. With the spa to themselves he popped the big question. At that moment they became best friends and lovers for life.
