Our story began early 2020 when we both swiped right on a dating app called bumble. We matched with each other on the app and instantly hit it off. Since there were strict lockdown rules in Oregon during the beginning of 2020, we didn’t end up meeting each other until May. At the time, Aaron was living in Dallas and Brianna was living in Sherwood which is about an hour drive from each other. Most restaurants were still closed so we met in the middle at Willamette Mission State Park in Keizer. We became an official couple July 6th of 2020 when Aaron asked Bri to be his girlfriend at the Oregon coast. Fast forward to November 2nd of 2024 and we are now engaged and getting married this October!

Our engagement took place at the park we met each other for the very first time - Willamette Mission State Park. Aaron’s cover was that his family had planned a “family photoshoot” which ended up being our engagement photoshoot that he had put together for months without Bri finding out. It was such a beautiful morning with all the bright yellow and orange fall colors. Some of our close friends planned a surprise engagement party for us and Bri’s sister, Mikayla flew in from Florida to surprise her. The night ended at Bullwinkles where we played arcade games and raced go-karts. It was truly one of the best days that we will never forget!

After being together for over 5 years, we are so excited to tie the knot and to start our future together as one. We are getting married at a beautiful venue in the country only 10 minutes from our house. We are so happy to have all of our favorite people celebrating with us both at our wedding and from a-far as well. We have the best family and friends and feel so blessed every single day!
