REAL WEDDING:: ASPEN + BRANDON (At Last)

They worked at the same company, but it was not until Brandon purchased a painting in a silent auction at a charity event that Aspen organized that he caught her attention.

However even though the potential for love was ignited, the didn’t go out on their first date until a year later. At last, after two years of dating, Brandon decided that his lonely days were over and asked Aspen to share the rest of her life with him. With Jackson Square as their background, Aspen gave an enthusiastic “Yes!”

With a beautiful theme of Mardi Gras sparkle and New Year’s Eve charm, Brandon and Aspen left one year as two and entered into the new year as one soul.
