On October 16, 2021, Reina and Brandon went on their first date at Lake Merritt in Oakland. They planned to get smoothies at a cafe and stroll around the lake. The afternoon turned to evening and ended with dinner at Grand Lake Kitchen. The rest, as they say, is history. While on vacation in Italy, Brandon surprised Reina by proposing on May 3rd, 2023 at the Basilica di San Miniato, overlooking the city of Florence. They're so excited to start the next phase of their lives together and can't wait to celebrate with you in June!
