We met five years ago at a concert in Asheville, North Carolina. I was with my best friend, Katie, who introduced us because Katie and Michael went to high school together.

We met at the beginning of 2008 when I started working for Joel’s father’s company. We started seeing each other in July that year and we’ll celebrate our eight-year anniversary in Paris on Bastille Day this year.

We both moved to NYC after graduating, and originally met in a sketchy club on the West Side Highway in November 2011 (we only discovered this a few years later when we found a selfie Brandon took on a Kodak disposable and I was in the background).

Afterwards … Read more
