Through mutual friends, Suzie’s bestie Faith Carter introduced her to Brandon during a night out. He happened to come out with his friends, Jake and Ellie Kowalski. When they met, there was a sense of peace that they were meant to be something more - whatever that would bring. They hit it off right away, and a week later, they went on their first date to Besito’s Mexican Restaurant in Tampa. Since then, they’ve been inseparable. As they have grown in their relationship, they moved into their first apartment together and have two cats that they love so dearly. The love that they share for each other is so special and strong, that Brandon knew (after 2 1/2 years of being together) it was time to pop the question! He got together Suzie’s immediate family and two life long friends of hers - Abigail and Hannah Ninan - and planned a trip to St. Augustine, FL. Funny enough, their first trip to St. Augustine was back in August 2021 as their first road trip as a couple! The weekend went perfectly as Brandon planned it and they had so much fun spending time together and enjoying each other’s company. She was completely surprised when, on Sunday morning, he led her to the central gazebo in the downtown square and got on one knee. She, obviously, said yes and now here they are planning their next greatest adventure: getting married!
