It all started in high school, specifically chemistry class where there was a lot of chemistry going on (haha). Brandon and I had mutual friends, but were not friends ourselves. Early on into the school year we slowly started to get to know each other as we also had other classes together. However, in Chemistry class Brandon would sit in the back and sometimes throw paper balls at me to be funny. You know how flirting goes with boys. He even would call me by a new nickname Camp-I-One. Campione is my last name.... During the school year we started hanging out a lot more with our mutual friends and became really close. So close that I remember one time at a Panera Bread, the cashier thought we were siblings with how we were joking and having so much fun with each other. As summer break came around, Brandon wanted to move the friendship towards dating. I was not sure how to react, as he was my best friend. We unfortunately had a falling out and we didn't talk all of Junior year. When Senior year came, Brandon and I would start to inquire what the other was doing through our mutual friends. I was in the Year Book club and the day was picture day at the auditorium. As I remember it, Brandon was talking with our mutual friends and they came over to me and my friends. Then, they all left us so it was just us two together. At the time, it was really awkward. I wasn't sure if he still liked/cared for me as I did for him. We made some small talk and that is all I remember. But, the connection was rekindled. We started texting, then that night we talked on the phone for what felt like hours. During that phone call we came clean with how we felt about where we left off. We both wanted to be friends again, and I was so happy to hear that. During the first half of the year everyone could tell that we were acting way more flirty with each other then ever before. Then to no surprise, Brandon asked me to our school's semi formal dance. We had so much fun during the whole thing. Once we got into the car, after the night had ended Brandon asked me to be his girlfriend and I couldn't say yes fast enough. I write this long love story as I think it is one of a kind love.

Brandon and I always go on amazing trips where we are always on the go and having fun. This summer was no different. Brandon is our vacation planner and always plans fun trips for us. He wanted to go on an East Coast trip where we could see different places in Florida that we have not been to yet. He surprised me and told me we could start at my favorite place, Disney World. We then adventured to St. Augustine, Daytona Beach, West Palm Beach and back to Walt Disney World. The first day, July 22 was a busy morning where our flight left super early (of course) we then arrived in Orlando to head to Disney World. It was such a hot day I remember us sweating buckets literally. It was such a perfect day & the first time it was just us at Disney. We rode tons of rides, ate mickey shaped foods, watched the fireworks and saw characters. Brandon was acting normal until he wanted to constantly take pictures. At the end of the night he wanted to venture to the wishing well on the side of the castle. We took multiple pictures and I was looking up at the castle and suddenly I heard Brandon say "Toni Anne". I turned around and Brandon was on one knee. I couldn't say yes fast enough. That was the happiest moment of my life and I cannot wait until I walk down that aisle to him.
