Our journey began in April 2011 at Ball State University. It was at a probate where our paths first crossed—Alexander as a proud member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., and Brandilyn a proud member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Thanks to a mutual friend, we were introduced and quickly formed a friendship that would stand the test of time. For years, our connection grew through laughter, shared experiences, and mutual respect. It wasn't until 2019 that we realized something deeper had been there all along. What started as a solid friendship blossomed into love, and from that foundation, we've continued to build a relationship filled with trust, respect, and joy.
