We met at Gannon University here in Erie, PA. As resident assistants, we had been friends for years before we decided to visit a local favorite, Andora's Boba Tea, for our first date. The rest is history!
In May of 2024, the McKernan family planned a 2 week long tour of southern Ireland. Before embarking, Rachel and Brady had discussed engagement and a platinum celtic knot engagement ring had been brought and kept hidden for safe keepings. Brady surprised Rachel with a photographed engagement session in Dunquin Ireland on the Dunquin Pier. We are so lucky to have been blessed by such a great photographer and such a unique landscape to capture our love on and are so happy to share the pictures with our friends and family!
