Arianna and Brandon met in high school at Johnston County Early College in Smithfield, NC. They were just classmates for the first two years but became best friends their Junior year. Then from there, it's history.

Arianna and Brandon's first date was to Kings Dominion amusement park in Doswell, Virginia. They rode every ride open that day, ate all the fried foods, and took photo ops every chance possible. Arianna convinced her parents to let her go by telling them "the worst thing that could happen is we break down on the side of the road, but Brandon is a mechanic, he can fix it".

Arianna and Brandon returned to Kings Dominion to celebrate their five-year anniversary with close friends. Once they entered the park they went back to recreate photos from their first date. Just when Arianna thought all the photos were finished she turned around and found Brandon down on one knee.
