We’ve known of each other since high school and shared a few mutual friends, but our paths only crossed occasionally—usually just long enough for a quick “hi.” Everything changed the Wednesday before Thanksgiving in 2021, when God (and a bit of liquid courage) brought us together at a local bar. Braydon asked for my number, and he texted me the very next day on Thanksgiving—a perfect start. Our first date was at that same bar, and after that night, we were inseparable. On January 13, 2025, Braydon proposed in Sedona, Arizona at the Chapel of the Holy Cross. It was a truly magical day, and one we will cherish forever—Sedona will always hold a special place in our hearts. A few sweet milestones from our journey together: 2023 — We moved into our very first apartment together 📦 2024 — Found a new church that feels like home ⛪️ 2025 — Got engaged 💍 and bought our cozy little house 🏡 2026 — Saying “I do” and starting forever 🕊️ Our love story is still unfolding, and we’re so grateful as we trust God with every chapter still to come.
