Our story began at Rutgers University in the fall of 2015—on a night that didn’t quite go as planned. After a failed outing with friends, Mone and her group wandered back into the dorm lounge in search of a vending machine. There, Brandon was playing pool with his friends Ricky and Bryce. As fate would have it, Mone and Bryce already knew each other, making for an easy introduction.

What started as a casual hangout quickly turned into something special. That night, everyone played cards and talked until 6 a.m.—and from that moment on, something just felt right.

As our relationship grew, we were surprised to discover that our lives had been connected long before we met: Brandon’s father, Will, and Mone’s aunt, Petula, attended Seton Hall University together and were close friends. It turns out, our families had crossed paths before we were born —proof that some connections are simply meant to be.

Over the past ten years, we’ve shared countless memories: traveling, building a home together, forming lifelong friendships, and growing deeper in love every step of the way. What began as a chance meeting turned into a beautiful journey—and now, we’re so excited to begin this next chapter as husband and wife.
