Our love story began in September 2015 when Brandon and I first were introduced through my roommate/coworker. Both of us recognized an immediate connection related to our interests, sense of humor, and automatic witty banter; however, knowing we both lived at a distance from one another (I was working in Lincoln and Brandon in Omaha) we developed our friendship further. By early spring, March 8th, 2016, we decided to pursue a relationship and our fascination for one another, enduring love, and continual amazement quickly avalanched and we were head over heels. May 2016 I received a job offer in Omaha, where I moved closer to Brandon and our relationship truly had the opportunity to develop into something long lasting. In September 2017 Brandon and I moved to Springfield, Oregon where we have created a beautiful home surrounded by pets, filled with love, and a generous space for our lives to become one. June 1st, 2018 Brandon got on one knee and made me the happiest woman in the world by asking for my hand in marriage in the very first garden we grew with one another this past year! If you have heard me tell the story in person you most likely have heard me say, “he proposed to me in the garden where we have been growing our first life together and growing our love!” Because we are just THAT corny, we have even saved some seeds that came from our garden harvest this year and will continue to replant/reuse those seeds so every year we can have vegetable harvests from the garden that started our marriage! October 7, 2018 we will promise our souls and endless love to one another in front of our incredibly supportive and loving family and friends. We are so happy to have you celebrate our happiness with us and you have been invited because of the impact you have had on our lives. We hope to see you there!
