We're getting married!

We started out as coworkers who barely crossed paths until Patti came back from college and switched to morning shifts, which just so happened to be when Braden worked. Thanks to some mutual friends, we began hanging out outside of work, and our connection quickly grew. Things really took off when Patti ended up spending Christmas Eve 2022 with Braden’s family at his grandparents’ house even though we weren't officially dating yet. Then, on New Year’s Day 2023, Patti turned to Braden and asked, “So… are we dating yet?” Braden laughed and said, “Yes.” Since then, we’ve hardly spent a day apart and we couldn’t be happier.
