What started as a simple family trip… turned into forever. ❤️

What began as a trip to Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium — Braxton’s very first zoo visit — quickly became a day we’ll never forget.

Between grabbing a quick snack before dinner and accidentally leaving the diaper bag behind (yes… total chaos 😅), it felt like everything that could go wrong… did.

But little did I know — something so right was waiting on the other side of it all.

As the evening settled in, we boarded the Gateway Clipper Fleet for what I thought was just a dinner cruise with family. Surrounded by the people we love most, laughter filling the air, and the city glowing around us…

Bryan asked me to be his wife. 💍

Right there, at the top of the boat… I said YES.

Moments later, fireworks lit up the sky — as if the night itself was celebrating with us. ✨

This boat will forever hold a special place in our hearts. It’s where our forever began… and it’s part of so many of our memories — especially game days, crossing the Monongahela River on our way to cheer on the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium.

From chaos… to commitment.

From an ordinary day… to the start of forever.

We’re so excited to start the next phase of their lives together and can’t wait to celebrate with you in August!
