We're getting married!

Brandon and Karly attended Slippery Rock University. They both frequented the campus gym, as they share a passion for health and fitness. Karly worked at the front desk at the gym, and would get more excited than usual to swipe a certain customer into the fitness center. Eventually the simple swipe interaction turned into hello's, hey how are you's, and getting to know each other. With the support and excitement of some mutual friends, Brandon and Karly went on their first date in 2019. They continued to date throughout senior year of college, and knew there was a forever in mind. They moved into their first apartment together in Pittsburgh in 2020, and bought their first house together in 2021.

Karly and Brandon planned a getaway weekend to a cabin in West Virginia in July 2021. Brandon convinced Karly he had to go into the office that day (Friday) so it would make more sense if they drove separate. While Karly was on her way thinking Brandon was "in meetings", he was really setting up the proposal with a rose petal pathway and champagne.
