01 — Our Story

How it all started.

We met at Booneshine Brewing, where we both work. We were practically strangers, just coworkers passing by, until one shift beer changed everything. That conversation was the kind where everything else fades away, and we both just knew.

Our love grew over travels to new places, late-night card games, and binge-watching our latest favorite shows. When it came time to propose, Braden chose our favorite spot: Grandfather Winery. It was intimate, special, and freezing cold, but perfect.

Now we're writing the next chapter together, and we can't wait to celebrate it with all of you.

Reception

To follow

Dinner, drinks, and dancing in the barn directly after the ceremony. Stay late, we're celebrating all night.

Attire
