MEET THE FIELDS

"When Two Hearts Are Meant For Each Other, No Distance is Too Far, No Time is So Long, and No Other Love Can Break Them Apart”

the bride + groom

Sometimes the perfect person can be so close but yet so far. Sometimes it takes the perfect timing and fate for true love to begin.Beaonica and Brandon have always lived in close proximity of each other, but they never dated and were never close friends. There were plenty of random times for the two to meet. As teenagers they rode the same school bus, went to the same summer camp, attended the same high school and grew up in neighboring communities. But fate wouldn’t allow them to meet until the perfect timing. Fate wouldn’t be that predictable. Fate would wait until Brandon moved to Arizona to begin a career as a software engineer. Fate would maneuver Beaonica to start her career as neonatal nurse in Alabama. Fate would enjoy the irony of moving two people so far away only to bring them closer than they had ever been in life. Their love story began on July 2, 2011. Brandon was back home in Birmingham visiting family and friends during the 4th of July holiday weekend. The future couple found themselves in a similar situation at a holiday party. But this time it was different. Fate would not allow them to keep missing each other. They exchanged numbers that particular night at the party. Brandon was very persistent with pursuing Beaonica and the next morning he invited her to brunch and the two caught up on each other’s lives. They went out on a date every day during Brandon’s short trip home. The two realized how much they had in common and and enjoyed each other’s company. Although Brandon returned to Arizona, they remained close and kept in touch. The couple acknowledges that becoming friends first and getting to know each other played a vital role in the success of building their relationship. After a year, Brandon moved back to Alabama to be closer to the love of his life and to continue the fairy tale that fate had started before they ever knew.

PROPOSAL

The day of her birthday, Brandon told her they had reservations to have dinner and tour a local winery near Ruffner Mountain. As they arrived, Beaonica first noticed a photographer snapping pictures of the couple. At this moment Beaonica knew something strange was going on. She began to get extremely nervous and was hesitant to walk into the venue. As she walked in the doors of the building she was greeted by a host of family and friends screaming “Surprise...Happy Birthday!!!”. At this moment Beaonica was stunned to see so many friends and family from near and far away. She was speechless. During the birthday celebration, Brandon arranged for some of her closest friends to explain what they loved about Beaonica. The final speech was given by Brandon. In front of their closest family and friends, he wished her a Happy Birthday, told her how much he loved and adored her, and ended the speech with dropping on his knees and proposing in front of everyone. This day was absolutely perfect from start to finish and was surrounded by so much love:)




Brandon proposed to Beaonica on September 27th, 2014 which happened to be her 26th Birthday. Unbeknownst to her, Brandon was secretly planning the perfect proposal for an entire year. Brandon understood how important and close Beaonica’s family and friends were in her life, and he wanted to make sure that were in attendance to share in this special occasion. So he decided to plan a surprise birthday party which would lead to an engagement party by the end of the night. In the months leading up to the proposal Brandon bought Beaonica a sequence of small gifts to build up the suspense, including a birthday dress, jewelry, and even planned a professional make up session. The groom-to-be had already asked her parents for her hand in marriage and of course her parents happily accepted and gave their blessing.
