The musical duo returns to Vallarta a year after their paradise wedding
When I first learned about Branden & James’ deeply moving story, I knew I had to have it featured and share this wonderful tale. From the way they met, to their reconciliation with their families and their wedding in Puerto Vallarta, it is all very touching and inspiring. This handsome couple met about five years ago in Los Angeles, in a place that it is not usually known for creating lasting relationships - SCRUFF. The very next day after connecting in the app, they met in person and sat on James’ couch and just chatted for a while. Branden had to leave town for six weeks for work, so they got to know each other through messages in that lapse. During that process, they discovered that both were professional musicians, so Branden hired James to play in a gig with him in Palm Springs as his musical director, as James is an arranger and a pianist. The audience in Palm Springs really felt their connection and their sound moved and delighted them so much - to Branden & James’ surprise - that they thought: Hey?? We’ve got something here, so they decided to team up and give it a go. This would also give them the opportunity to spend more time together.
