As autumn settles over the Texas Hill Country, we invite you to celebrate the beginning of our next chapter together.

On April 8, 2024, beneath the stillness of a total solar eclipse, we gathered in my brother and sister-in-law’s backyard, surrounded by family and friends. As the sky dimmed, a quiet hush settled over everything. Matched by the steady, echoing heartbeat of "Speak to Me" playing in the background. As the light began to return, Brandon leaned in and spoke about how we’ve known each other since second grade, how our paths had always crossed, just like the sun and moon meeting in that moment, and how this time he wanted to make it permanent. Then, in that quiet, in-between moment, he knelt, and I was completely caught off guard. We were both already tearing up before he even finished. In a moment that felt suspended in time, with the world slowly coming back to light, I said yes to forever.
