Brandon and Meredith first met through mutual friends at Round Up weekend at the University of Texas in 2015. They became friends, but really hit it off on a big group trip to Vegas a year later. At the time, Brandon lived in Charleston and Meredith lived in Austin, but they kept in touch over the next few months. They made a bet on the Super Bowl and the loser had to go visit the winner in their respective city; Brandon of course won and Meredith visited him in Charleston in April 2017. After that, they were going on trips together and visiting each other every few months. When Brandon got into medical school in Columbia, South Carolina, Meredith and her dog, Bella, moved to Columbia to be with Brandon. While in Columbia, they bought their first house together and another dog, Bear. In July of 2022, they made the cross-country move to Los Angeles for Brandon to pursue a research fellowship in orthopaedic surgery. While in LA, on April 28, 2023, Brandon surprised Meredith at the beach in Santa Monica with a proposal and her closest family and friends to celebrate. They are so excited for their future together and can't wait to see what it holds!
