We're excited to announce we're getting married!
(almost as excited as we were to eat this crab)
After over 4 years together, we've finally decided...it's time. We've run out of excuses, and weʻre looking forward to continuing our lives as husband and wife.
We can't wait to spend our special day with our family and closest friends. We're hoping to use this platform to share with everyone a little bit about ourselves and answer any questions you may have about the ceremony.
HOW WE MET
Brittany was working as a Resident Advisor at her dorm and one of her many responsibilities was to organize and resolve any maintenance complaints. One day, someone had complained of a leaking shower. She notified their contracted plumbers, and they sent Rande her way. When he arrived, there was an immediate attraction; however, aside from escorting him upstairs and showing him the problem, there was nothing more than professional conversation.
A few weeks later, Brittany's dorm was experiencing some major renovations, causing Rande to be at Brittany's dorm for more than a week! As you can imagine, after seeing each other every day, professional conversation got friendlier. On the last day of this job, before heading home, Rande worked up the courage to ask her out on a date. That Friday they went to dinner, and have been together ever since.
THE PAST FOUR YEARS
Two dogs, two chinchillas, a little bit of traveling, and a lot of goofing off.
TODAY
Rande works as a plumbing department head for an amazing company, No Ka ʻOi Pipe & Restoration. The company is based in Kauaʻi, meaning he's usually traveling two weeks. He gets to come home every other weekend, which can be hard, but we feel it's worth it.
Brittany works in Risk Management at UHA, a local health insurer, and loves it! She has been interested in working in risk management since she started her math degree, and since graduating in 2015, she's been able continue towards her dream. She also works part time for a local market research company doing whatever they need help with, which usually means double and triple checking reports.
Our lives are kept busy with two dogs, Kuma & Mochi, and two chinchillas, Moomoo & Button. If we're not outside with the dogs, at the beach or hiking in the windward forests, we're at home snuggling up, playing video games. We haven't had much time together recently, so we're sure to make it count. You could say we're one happy family!
