Brandy and Dustin first met online in November 2010, while Dustin was stationed at the Tactical Law Enforcement Team-South in Miami, FL and Brandy was attending dental school in Fort Lauderdale, FL. They went on their first date 5 days later and by the end of the night, Brandy had given Dustin her real phone number. Dustin and Brandy had so much fun together that he was even invited to a family wedding after only a few weeks of dating. Two years, multiple deployments, and many Skype sessions later, their love was still going strong. From the beginning, Dustin had been completely honest with Brandy and told her he would be transferring to California. Brandy secretly hoped this wouldn’t happen. As their love grew stronger, Brandy knew she was bound to move to California in order to continue the relationship they had started. Dustin moved to California in November 2011, and once Brandy graduated from dental school in May 2012, she moved to be with her one true love. After a year and a half of living together, Dustin proposed to Brandy on their 3-year anniversary following a romantic dinner. He had arranged for a mutual friend to decorate their apartment with candles, rose petals, and champagne. Brandy suspected nothing as she thought it was simply a romantic gesture. However, when Dustin proposed, she immediately said “yes!” The wedding date was set for six months later. With the help of their family and friends, they were able to have the wedding of their dreams on the beach surrounded by lots of love, laughter, and memories they will cherish forever.
