It was July 29th, 2017. Annette is supposed to meet her friends out for dinner and drinks, unfortunately she takes an unplanned 10 hour nap at 4 pm so she is not really involved in the start of this love story. Brandon on the other hand, is ready for a night on the town in Minneapolis. He is out with his friends at Crave rooftop. He is minding his own business when he is suddenly attacked by a group of girls. This group of girls are Annette's friends, apparently determined to find her a match. They continue to interrogate and harass him until he agrees to take Annette's phone number and promises to contact her. Annette awakes a few hours later to a group chat that has 50+ text messages, all revolving around some mystery man named Brandon. The girls also inform Annette that they gave him her number and he will be contacting her. Days go by and there is no word from Brandon... Finally a week or so later, Annette receives a text from an unknown number. Could it be him?! It was in fact Brandon, and he was requesting the company of Annette at dinner later that week. How could she say no? Brandon, being the gentleman that he is, picked Annette up for their first date in his freshly washed truck. They had their first meal together at Tubilee. The food was good and conversation was great. At one point during the meal, Brandon even suggested that if the date goes no where he would offer Annette a sales job at Paragon 28.. Wait...she was confused was this a job interview? Turns out the date did go well, and the next date, and the next date, and so on and so forth. Just over 1 year later, Brandon gave Annette the surprise of her life when he got down on one knee on a beach in Hawaii.
