After graduating from LSU, Brandon was in the market for a job and applied for a part time Marketing Ambassador position at L'Auberge Casino & Hotel. Elise was working as a Marketing Coordinator at the time and was asked to interview an applicant because her manager had a conflict. The applicant was Brandon. She can still remember the red sports coat he was wearing. Afterwards, Brandon immediately called his mom and told her about the gorgeous girl that interviewed him. Needless to say, he got the job... and the girl!
Brandon’s mom insisted they all take Christmas photos in New Orleans. ‘They’ being his brother, Michael; sister-in-law, Taylor; Brandon; Elise and, of course, Roux. Roux and her cousin, Lexi, had a slumber party and Brandon and Elise met everyone at Michael and Taylor’s new house in the morning. When Roux ran out to greet her parents she had a new accessory: a bandana reading, “Mom, will you marry my dad?” Before Elise could read it she saw Brandon down on one knee.
