Braden first saw Addi at freshmen orientation at Utah State University. He made sure to get her phone number and they started dating soon after. Braden is my nephew so, of course, we were all interested in who he was dating in case she ever was apart of our family. By December they were still dating and we were all excited thinking they were going to end up getting married. In fact I was sitting by Braden in Disneyland before Christmas while he was video calling her. I told him to just let me know when to schedule their photos. I was ready.
Then she came back from Christmas break with some news. She was going to go on a mission. As much as I support men and women going on missions I was so sad! I had only heard amazing things about Addi and if she went on a mission who knew if they would end up together. So they kept dating and she put in her mission papers. As the semester went on she decided to break it off because she didn’t want him to feel tied down to her while she was gone. Then they went away for spring break. And they missed each other like crazy!
Then covid hit.
Soon they started hanging out a lot again. And Bradens mom went into full lock down because he has some sisters that are high risk. And so they invited Addi to come and stay with them for a week because Braden wanted to be able to see her. And Addi realized something- who knew when she would be able to leave on her mission because of Covid and she was going to really, really miss Braden. So she decided to stay and marry him. And we were ECSTATIC.
Can I just say how much I love this girl. She has the kindest heart and willing to help and do anything. Including going hunting with the boys last fall! She is such a great fit in to Bradens family. I also may really wish my hair was as pretty as hers. Oh man it’s amazing.
I had been around Addi a few times by the time we did their engagements. But it’s her photos where I really got to know her. They are so easy to photograph. I didn’t have to help them relax and be themselves at all. Addi has the cutest laugh and sweetest smile! And she absolutely wins for best reaction to the sneak attack. haha. Check it out later in the post.
I’m going to let you jump ahead and see their FORMALS and WEDDING day posts here.
