Brandon & Jill have crossed paths many times over the years. They went to the same school in fourth grade, their sisters were in the same girl scout troop, and they went to the same middle and high school together in Peachtree City. The stars didn't align until July 17 2021, when Jill was singing with her band at Line Creek Brewery- over 10 years after they last saw each other at high school graduation. Brandon and their mutual friend Zack sat in the front row while she was playing and when it started to rain, Jill & Brandon ended up under a tent together where they first reconnected. After the concert was over, Brandon invited Jill to meet at the local dive bar for some wings & beers. After debating if she was too tired to go, Jill decided to show up for just one beer. Little did they both know, it was karaoke night! After watching Brandon's extremely confident rendition of "All Star" by Smash Mouth, Jill was hooked. Later on that evening while sharing a bottle of wine Brandon challenged Jill to a 3 minute staring contest, quoting a study that 25% of people that stare into each other's eyes for 3 minutes straight fall in love and get married... and here we are!
