Alyson and Brandon Sharp

How We Met: Brandon and I were invited to a mutual friend’s birthday celebration. We happened to be the only single ones invited to the party. I didn’t notice Brandon at first because I was being set up later that night on a blind date and was nervous. I met my blind date and we talked for a while but both knew there was not a connection and we ended up mingling with other friends. Brandon came up to me and asked me to play corn hole with him. I immediately knew I liked him but didn’t know at the time if he was even single. We talked all night and after I left the party he called our mutual friend and told them he had to see me again. He invited me to a barbecue at his house and we have been together ever since.

Fell In Love or Proposal: We both have a mutual interest in trying new things whether it is traveling or taking hikes around our area. We have a favorite hiking trail that we take often. After two years of dating, Brandon took me to our favorite cliff on that trail that we often stop for a snack and sit on. He asked me to get our snack out of the bag since I was closest to his book bag he had laid down. I opened the pocket with the snacks and found the ring box. He told me to open it and when I turned around he was down on one knee and proposed!

Favorite Wedding Detail: The entire wedding was beautiful and was full of so many special memories. One special detail about the wedding was the ceremony. Not only did my dad walk me down the aisle, but he also was the minister in our wedding. He wrote vows just for our wedding and it made our ceremony so special. Also, my mom made the flower girl dresses out of the lace from her wedding dress. The lace tablecloth on our table for our cross ceremony was the train from my mom’s wedding dress. Those special pieces meant the world to me and looked beautiful.
