Once upon a time, in 1992 Jennifer Hendrickson and Tracey Mixon were roaming the mall in Charlottesville, Virginia when they bumped into one another and developed an unexpected friendship. Their husbands, Ron and Laurence, were both graduate students at the University of Virginia. Bonding over Mary Kay and delicious meals, the women quickly formed a friendship that would last a life time. Over the years, both couples moved all over the world yet they never lost touch with each other. Their families grew as they welcomed many wonderful children. The Hendricksons and The Mixons cherished their visits with one another every year. In 1999, Jennifer and Tracey both happened to be pregnant at the same time - a girl and a boy. Born 9 days apart in March 2000, Jennifer and Ron named their daughter Lydia while Tracey and Laurence named their son Brandon. The two have been friends since before their birth. After 22 years of friendship, Lydia and Brandon fell in love, forever uniting the Hendrickson and Mixon families. Join us back in Virginia, 32 years after it all began, to celebrate our marriage and the next chapter of our lives together. Much love, Lydia and Brandon ❤️
