In the whimsical world of Tracy and Brayden, our story began in 2018 at Ed's Tavern, the proclaimed "where friends meet" spot, during game one of the World Series. Picture this: Brayden, a Red Sox enthusiast, struck up a conversation with me, Tracy, the new kid in town. It was as if fate had orchestrated a romantic comedy, complete with awkward introductions and instant chemistry. We dove into the dating game faster than you can say "home run," and from that moment, we've been inseparable. Our first date was a Halloween trivia night, a cherished tradition that stuck around. Brayden, in a moment of culinary genius, officially asked me to be his girlfriend over hot dogs at JJ's Red Hots – because nothing says romance like sharing a messy plate of dogs and beer. Our love story is a blend of shared interests and inside jokes. We discovered a mutual love for golf, where Tracy achieved a hole-in-one, leaving Brayden with dreams of redemption. Cheering on the Carolina Hurricanes became a ritual – we hoped our love would weather any storm, especially the ones happening on the ice. Beach trips to Hilton Head became our escape, with sandy toes and salty air witnessing our love story unfold. Enter Lucy, Tracy's canine companion, who quickly became the furry confidante in our tale, offering wagging approval and the occasional judgmental glance. Brayden orchestrated a proposal in Boone during a November vacation with friends for an Appalachian State football game. Surrounded by cheers and the majestic beauty of the mountains, he dropped to one knee, hoping not to fumble the ring – a moment straight out of a feel-good movie. Life threw us curveballs – career changes, the loss of family members, and a pandemic that left us wondering if we were living in a bizarre romantic comedy plot. Yet, here we are, standing in the happiest moment of our lives, still laughing at life's absurdity. Our little family became complete with one more four-legged freeloader. Enter Kitty Hawk, the unexpected sidekick who waltzed into our lives one day and never left. She's the feline diva who moved in like she owned the place – because, let's be honest, she does. Grateful doesn't begin to cover it. Our friends and family have embraced our journey, and we eagerly look forward to the next chapter. With humor as our compass, we're ready for more laughter, adventures, and a lifetime of "remember that one time?" moments. Here's to us – Tracy and Brayden – the dynamic duo turning ordinary moments into extraordinary love.
