Once upon a time, in a world of crossed paths, scientific discoveries, and perfectly timed coincidences, Brad met Beckie. Some say it was fate, others say it was an elaborate scheme on Beckie’s part, but legend has it that she once declared, “People sometimes describe me as animated,” to which Brad, without missing a beat, replied, “People tell me the same thing.” And just like that, two kindred spirits recognized each other—both with quick wit, infectious energy, and a shared ability to make any moment a little more entertaining. Their chemistry (pun intended) was undeniable. On their second date, they did what any sensible new couple would do—met each other’s families and hosted a large brunch for them. Go big or go home, right? Since then, they’ve built a life together filled with adventure, friendships spanning the globe, and even the ultimate test of commitment: purchasing a 6-person tent for themselves and their dog, Knox. Now, let’s talk about cohabitation. Brad was the first man Beckie ever lived with, and naturally, she welcomed him with one whole drawer to his name. For six months, he lived like a man on a minimalist mission. But then came a little thing called COVID, which meant a month of togetherness—an experiment in both science and patience. At the end of this trial period, Beckie, in a display of unprecedented generosity, granted him a second drawer (half kidding… but also not). Since that fateful meeting three years ago—one that may or may not have involved a completely random hallway—Brad and Beckie have built something truly special. Their relationship has grown alongside their friendships, their families, and their shared love of life’s quirks. And while they’re beyond excited to begin their official journey together, let’s be honest—their story already started three years ago. Now, they’re just making it official. __________________________________ We hope you appreciate our beautifully articulated story written with a little help from our friend, Chat GPT.
