The celebration that followed felt like a warm embrace from their shared past. Each element, from the lively photo booth capturing goofy smiles to the dance floor packed with friends, told of their journey together.

Marissa and Brandon's love story began at a New Year's Eve party welcoming 2016. A playful game led to a spontaneous kiss that marked the start of their journey together. Despite living in different states, they didn't let distance hinder their budding relationship. They thrive on traveling and exploring the world, enjoying morning coffee talks, going for walks, watching podcasts or documentaries, and savoring sunsets with a glass of wine in hand. They deeply value family, open and expressive communication, and personal growth—principles that have strengthened their bond over the years.
