Brandon and I first saw each other on a stage on March 20, 2015. We were both part of Louisiana All State Worship Choir (it ranges from ages 14-25, we were both 23) and this was our first event of the year: a Statewide Youth Rally. We were both selected to be on frontline, which meant instead of singing in the choir loft, we were front and center on the platform with mics in our hands. That night, I introduced myself to everyone on the platform...except him. I didn't get the chance! Brandon tells me that my smile caught his attention that night and he thought I was beautiful. Two months later, we were at our 2nd choir practice of the year and I was sitting on the front row waiting for practice to start. When he saw me, he immediately sat down next to me and asked me my name. As we talked, we just clicked. Fast forward to December 12, 2015. Brandon and I had been preparing to sing a duet at the beginning of his church's Christmas concert. "Once we are done with the song, hand your mic to this guy and wait for the lights to go off, that's when I'll help you off stage," he tells me. So, we sing the song, I hand off my mic, but Brandon keeps his. Then he starts talking. He talks about how we met on a stage and how he thought I was a "knock-out gorgeous girl" and I'm thinking, " Why is he talking about this?" Then his voice changes to a more serious tone and says, "Little did I know, that the girl I saw on stage that night would become the love of my life." Then he proceeds to sing the song "Marry Me" then drops to one knee asking THE question, presenting the most perfect ring. My response was much less eloquent. I just cried, smiled and nodded and said, "Yeaaahhhh!"
