Brittany laid eyes on Brandon from across the room at PBR bar in downtown St. Louis. She thought he was with someone at the time so she didn't want to go up and talk to him. Brit's friend later found out that the girl was just a friend and talked Brandon into meeting Brit. Brandon proceeded to tap Brittany on the shoulder on the dance floor and when Brittany turned around her jaw just about hit the floor in surprise. They spent the entire evening dancing and getting to know one another and the rest is history!

Brandon picked Brittany up after work one morning and had a picnic lunch set up from their favorite sandwich shop, Micasa, in Red Bud, Illinois. Brandon had planned a day of deer shed antler hunting for the two of them. Brandon led Brittany all over the Waterloo property without finding anything but an old turtle shell and leg bone. Brittany was getting bored so Brandon reeled her back in by taking her for a walk on his new four wheeler trail he had made. After crossing the creek, Brittany found the first antler of the day. Little did she know that it had been placed there the day before with the words "Will you marry me?" stuck on them. Brandon caught the whole thing on camera with a trail cam he also set up the previous day.
