Our love story

How a dog walk turned into a forever kind of love...

It all began in December 2017, in the sun-soaked city of San Diego, California. We were neighbors in the same apartment complex, unknowingly circling each other's lives. Every time I’d take my dog, Saint, out for a walk, I’d somehow end up seeing Braxton pulling into the parking lot. We never spoke just passing glances and quiet curiosity. I honestly thought he was a ladies’ man, way too attractive to be serious about anyone... so I kept my distance. But fate had other plans. One day, while on yet another walk with Saint, Braxton finally stopped me and asked my name. I was caught completely off guard partly because I’d convinced myself he’d never actually speak to me. I didn’t really feel like talking, still thinking he was the "player type," but something made me stay. We ended up talking for over an hour, effortlessly, like old friends who were finally catching up. At the end of that first conversation, he gave me his number. I had zero plans to use it. But just like that first conversation I gave in. Two weeks later, I sent him a text, and that was the beginning of our love story. Seven years later, we’ve built a beautiful journey full of laughter, love, challenges, growth, and unwavering support. Through all the highs and lows, we’ve chosen each other over and over again. And now, we are so excited to share our love and celebrate our next chapter with all of you on our special day. And to think… if it weren’t for Saint, we may have never said a single word to each other.
