Guy meets girl on a beautiful November day in Hermosa Beach. Meeting through mutual friends, neither of them knew what was in store. Payden's harmless banter, energetic personality and infectious smile drew Brian in instantly and he knew from that moment on he needed her in his life. Soon, two unfamiliar people became friends. Though she initially only saw him as a friend, Brian was determined to win her over and after much persistence, he finally got her to agree to go out with him. Several dates later, Payden knew she had met her match and was finally won over by Brian's good looks, charming personality and undying passion to make her happy. What started as an innocent sunday funday with friends, developed into an unwavering love story that people only wish for. It was fate and they both have never looked back since!

Ring was bought, family was gathering and anticipation was building. Brian wanted to choose a weekend that had special meaning to both of them. After much planning, arrangements were made and the day was set for Saturday, April 15 in Ojai, while Payden's family was all in town for Easter. Brian went up early to make sure everything was in order and Payden drove up a day after with her dad and sister. The morning arrived and Brian's nerves were through the roof. It was finally time! After breakfast with the family, Brian told Payden he had to run some errands and she went to tag along. On the way back, he told her he wanted to stop at their favorite spot on shelf trail. Payden's curiosity was peaked as it was mid day and they were in jeans, but she went along with it. After hanging out on their favorite bench overlooking beautiful Ojai Valley, Brian grabbed Payden's hand asking her to stand up. "You know you're my best friend, right," Brian said, and Payden knew instantly that her life was about to change forever. He knelt down, grabbed her hand and asked her to be his partner for life. Seconds later, the roar of the rest of the Bennett family sounded from the hills and the engagement culminated in celebration with their family and close friends.
