Brant Carlson and Leandra Westbrook eloped in Cleveland, Ohio on December 22nd, 2022. Their wedding took place during an intimate ceremony at Squire's Castle in the Cleveland Metropark. They were wed by Brant's best friend and former roommate, Shane Salyers. Following the ceremony, they took photos at the Castle and returned their marriage certificate to the Cuyahoga County Probate Court. That night, the couple celebrated their marriage during a dinner at Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse. Brant and Leandra will reside in Beachwood, Ohio.
Brant and Leandra first met during the 2020 Presidential Election. Leandra was a Regional Field Director in Northeast Ohio for the Trump Campaign, overseeing Huron, Erie, Lorain, Medina, and Cuyahoga Counties, while Brant was a Field Organizer in Columbiana County. They first met at a team summit in Columbus, Ohio a few short months before Election Day.
It wasn't until this summer when Brant and Leandra reconnected. Avid country music fans, they showed interest in the same artist that was coming to Cleveland on July 22nd, 2022. Leandra made the first move by asking Brant to attend the Zach Bryan concert with her at Jacob's Pavilion. They spent that July night singing and dancing along to some of their favorite songs. That was just the first memory they would end up sharing. From that moment on, they were inseparable.
