Brandon and Katricia’s story is a beautiful example of how social media brings people together, and how shared interests and values create a strong connection. They initially met through Instagram where their conversation started with Brandon’s interest in Katricia’s quote about her “love language.” From there, their relationship blossomed. Brandon courted Katricia by sending lavender roses to her job ( a staple in their wedding) and arranging a professional lunch at Surin West in Birmingham. They learned they shared similar interests in books, music, art, and faith.
Living within walking distance of each other was a beautiful twist of fate, allowing them to spend significant time together going for walks and impromptu brunches. Brandon proposed to Katricia in March of 2022, on the day the Festival of Colors, Love, & Spring is observed, at Sol Y Luna in Mountain Brook.
Wedding Day Memory
“Our wedding day was centered around vibrancy. We wanted to celebrate love and life with our family and friends, encouraging them to come dressed in their brightest colors. Our wedding was garden-themed with stunning floral arrangements in shades of lavender and orange. We even had a garden where guests could pick flowers to take home as a memento of the day.” – Katricia
Advice From the Bride
“As you prepare for your wedding day, it is important to keep it simple and focus on the essentials. Once you have completed all the significant tasks and covered most of the minor details that matter to you, shift your focus to being present on the day of the wedding. The day passes by quickly, so take the time to cherish every moment and make the most of it.” – Katricia
