Brendan and Faith first met in 2021, but it was their hiking date in the Wichita Mountains that truly brought their hearts together. On a warm spring afternoon, they wandered along rocky paths, sharing stories, laughter, and a simple lunch atop a mountain peak overlooking boulder-filled valleys and wind-swept plains.

What Brendan didn’t know until the end was that Faith had been hiding a fear of heights the entire time. Yet she climbed every step with him anyway.

That was the moment Brendan knew she was the one—because she didn’t just keep up with him, she matched his spirit, his energy, and his love for adventure. That hike became the first chapter of a lifelong journey they are now so excited to begin together!
