Story
Where we began…… Brandon’s perspective….
It all started with a Facebook message. Tara seen my handsome face on a TV commercial, after we had been Facebook friends for quite a while, and she sent me a message that said “I see you“ lol. Just a harmless message… A couple of months later I was in desperate need of someone to do my daughter Libby’s hair (and the neighbor, Bella) for the daddy daughter dance. I had quite a few different people offer to help, but Tara was so quick to private message me and offer to do their hair the very next day, Saturday morning, before the dance. Unbeknownst to me, Tara doesn’t work Saturdays! She was only trying to score some brownie points with me lol. Needless to say, she did an amazing job on their hair, even did their make up and nails. The daddy daughter dance went off without a hitch. Fast-forward to the end of December, and little Mrs Tara, asked me me to go axe throwing with her… Unbeknownst to me, it was our first date. I, being the naïve guy I am, thought we were just going out as friends. I actually thought she had a boyfriend lol. I never thought in 1 million years that this beautiful, magenta haired, smoke show, would EVER hit on this bald guy, but here we are getting ready to celebrate with all of you 😂!!
Tidbits
How did you first meet?
On Facebook! But the first time we actually met in person, was the day Tara did Libby’s hair for the daddy daughter dance.
Who made the first move? How?
Tara made the first move when she messaged Brandon on Facebook. A few weeks later we had plans for dinner and axe throwing.
Who's going to take out the trash?
Whoever happens to fill up the trash last lol. It usually makes it’s way out to the garage, and Brandon’s usually the one to take it to the can lol, BUT Tara remembers that the trash goes out on Thursday nights.
What was your most memorable date?
Brandon – I’m gonna have to say our first date was the most memorable. Burgers and RJ‘s and the ax throwing at Axe Play in Jackson.
Tara – I’m going to have to agree. ALTHOUGH, Brandon thought I had a boyfriend and he didn’t even realize it was a date! 😂
What's your favorite activity together?
We both love wandering. Whether it be shopping, sightseeing, or going on a hike.
Where are you going for your honeymoon?
Hmmmmmmmm not sure about that one just yet. We got engaged in Hawaii, so we are going to have to figure out something epic.
We take pride in
Our decorating skills! Both in the house and for holidays.
How did Brandon Propose?
In Hawaii with our favorite caricature artist! Brandon had been communicating with them for a couple months! It was perfect, contrary to what the internet said 😂
