1. Tell us a little about yourself & your spouse. Give us a brief history of your all’s story and how long you’ve been together.
Brandon and I met while working together. Our desks were literally about 10 feet apart! Our department was young and liked to hang out together, so we were friends first, but it didn’t take long to figure out we had a little bit of a spark. At that point we had both gotten out of long-term relationships and were hesitant to take the next step. There was no denying the connection we had and I pretty much knew he was the one after just a few months. As cheesy as it sounds that was truly the case. Once you’ve had so many broken relationships you start losing hope that “the one” is out there, but there he was sitting 10 feet from me. The Lord had bigger plans for us than just the mediocre relationships that we had experienced in the past. We dated a little over a year and a half and then got engaged one month before I opened Twirl.
Brandon is a very calm, laid back soul…which helps offset my anxiety- ridden soul quite nicely. He’s always been my voice of reason and calms me down on the most stressful days. Somehow he can always put things in perspective in a way no one else has ever been able to do for me. We are complete opposites in many ways, but exactly the same in so many more.
2. What’s your favorite memory from your wedding?
We were married in an outdoor ceremony at The Carrick House in Lexington. My dad and I had a short little walk around the back of the ceremony to get to the aisle. As we walked we got to soak in all of the beauty of the day and see the whole wedding come together just as we had imagined it. Standing there with my dad, wearing my mom’s wedding gown, seeing my future husband waiting for me surrounded by my closest friends and family and hearing “Here Comes the Sun” on acoustic guitar…it makes me want to do it all over again right now!
