Mia and Braden became best friends during their sophomore year of high school and were together practically daily. Their college apartments while attending Texas A&M were five doors apart. But at a date party, Braden confessed to a shocked Mia that he had feelings for her – which was a relief to Mia as she had the same feelings! Neither had wanted to ruin a great friendship.
Braden was adamant that the relationship would work out. “We started dating sophomore year of college, and he was right, everything worked out and my best friend turned into the greatest relationship of my life!” Mia said.
On a celebratory graduation trip to Cancun, Braden planned a dinner on the beach in a private cabana. When the hired photographer appeared early, Braden had to go rogue. “He told me that the cabana came with complimentary couples photos and that we should take a few. As we were standing there taking photos, he got down on one knee and proposed.”
The couple returned home to a fabulous party thrown by their parents and closest friends.
A black-and-white themed wedding took place in May at the The Bell Tower on 34th.
The couple’s favorite part of the day was the reception. “We wanted an all-night dance party and we got that. Between the DJ playlist and the 360 photo booth, our guests were never sitting down!” the bride said. The night finished with a party bus trip to Pete’s Piano Bar to keep the party going!
