Our Wedding

Technically, Brandon found Alaina because he swiped first. Yes, Brandon and Alaina met on an app, but it was fate that brought them together. From their first date at Va Bene to rounds of putt-putt and trips to Sunday Mass, Brandon never planned a dull moment for the two of them. Alaina’s father always told her to choose someone she could have fun with—and he was not wrong. The happy couple plans to continue laughing, having adventures, embracing spontaneity, and sharing love and grace throughout the years to come in each other’s lives.

How We Met

1. Going to Oregon 2. Going to Colorado 3. Playing Sports (Pickleball, Running Together, Golfing, and Tennis) 4. Exploring the Things Around the Town 5. Sharing Meals Together

Favorite Dates

At Alaina’s birthday dinner, Brandon asked for permission to marry her when she stepped away from the table. That weekend, they went camping and explored Arkansas. Brandon brought his cousin along as a secret photographer for one of their hikes. Little did they know, there was a rattlesnake on the trail! Alaina remembers the snake, the tears of joy, and saying “yes” to the love of her life.
