Being from very different parts of the country, we are so thankful our paths brought us together! After living in five cities, Ariel decided to take a new job opportunity in Houston, TX. After finishing graduate school at Tulane in New Orleans, Brandon reluctantly moved to Houston for work as well. Amidst the pandemic in 2020, they took a chance on a blind date. What started out with happy hour drinks turned into an entire evening of talking, listening to live music and dancing. After that night, we never looked back! On June 24, 2022, Brandon took Ariel to a birthday dinner and gave her the best present of her life by proposing to her! He also surprised her by organizing her family to fly in from Chicago and Washington D.C. to celebrate this very special moment. We are thrilled to bring our family and friends from across the country together in one place on our special day. Thank you to everyone for celebrating with us!
