Our love story
First time we met
Heather and Brandon met at the single's table of the Mark & Katie Perryman Wedding on September 18, 2016. Brandon happened to be sitting next to his close friend Evan, the same Evan that is marrying us today.
Our First Dates
Date #1
Our first date, well, wasn't the best. Brandon thought it went great... Heather, not so much. I guess Brandon talked too much about himself. Luckily, Heather gave Brandon a second chance with date number two.
Date #2
This is the date that Heather secretly fell for Brandon. Brandon took Heather to sushi (to make sure she passed the "likes sushi" test) and then mini golfing. During mini golf, we gave each other nicknames. Heather was Koala and Brandon was Bear. We still use our nicknames today and even call our home the Koala Bear Habitat. And if you are wondering, Brandon didn't talk about himself as much, he instead asked more questions about Heather winning some Koala points in the dating game.
We fell in love shortly after, became best friends, and have been inseparable ever since.
Proposal
Our 2.5 year anniversary happened to fall on April 1st aka April Fools Day. We both decided to take the day off from work and go on a hike in Pacific Palisades called Los Liones. It just so happened that our friend, Trevor, was in town with his camera equipment. Trevor helped document the entire day making up an excuse that he wanted to test out some new camera setting. At the top of the hike, Brandon got down on one knee, completely forgot what he was going to say and asked Heather to marry him.
She said yes!
Engagement
To be honest, engaged life is not much different than dating. The only changes are that Heather spends a lot of time cleaning her new ring and we have been figuring out the details of our wedding together. We are really excited for our future together and celebrating our wedding with our friends and family.
