OCCUPATIONS She’s a server at Olive Garden and he works at LTI Milky Way

THEY MET working at Mongolian Grill eight years ago, where Brandi was a server and Eddie a busboy

HE PROPOSED on a trip to Leavenworth. Looking out the window of a restaurant, Brandi saw that “tire tracks in the snow had made two hearts … Little did I know that the two hearts symbol would actually end up being the theme at our wedding!” During the Christmas lighting ceremony, Eddie dropped to one knee and held a diamond ring. She was so surprised “…that I actually didn’t even hear him ask me to marry him at first…”

NUMBER OF GUESTS about 275

NUMBER OF ATTENDANTS 8

COLORS WERE pink, white and silver m THEIR GETAWAY CAR was Eddie’s Acura TL, decorated by the groomsmen m THEY SPENT THEIR WEDDING NIGHT at home. “The bridesmaids had gotten a key from my mom earlier in the day and decorated the bedroom with candles and rose petals and also had a bottle of champagne waiting for us”

FAVORITE MOMENT The first look. “I’ve always heard the expression ‘it took my breath away,’ and I actually heard Eddie’s breath catch when he first turned around and saw me… it made me feel like the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen.”
