She didn’t live in a basement, but they were both huge Michigan
fans. Not to mention, they were both University of Michigan alums.
Despite the similarities, Kate and Brandon never knew each other
before meeting in the comment section and becoming known as the
“Blog Couple” to all the other commenters out there.
According to ESPN, Kate tells them that Brandon was the only one
to not accuse her of being “a middle-aged man in a basement
somewhere.”
“If she was a middle-aged man, she was a middle-aged man who
could make me laugh all the time,” Brandon admits. “I figured I’d
take my chances.”
They talked online for about six months before Brandon hopped in
his car and drove 12 hours from Ann Arbor, Michigan to
Wilmington, North Carolina to see her. His friend, Tom Brady (not
the football star), joked that Brandon drove all that way because he
was “anxious to find out if she was indeed a middle-aged man” or
not.
Kate opened her door to find Brandon visibly shaking on her
doorstep from the nerves, but it was a “very cute” shaking as Kate
describes it.
“Definitely worth it,” he remembers
Things moved very quickly for Brandon and Kate. After meeting in
person for the first time, they made it a point to visit every three or
four weeks over the summer. They both admit that they realized
their relationship was the real deal very early on, which is why
Brandon found a job in North Carolina that “was good for his
career.”
Although his brother, Ryan, will tell you that Brandon really took the
job to be closer to Kate.
“It was love at first type,” as Kate’s friend describes it.
From there, the rest is, well, a win. On October 24, 2015, Kate and
Brandon married. They carefully chose a date when Michigan’s
football team would have a bye week.
They call their love story the best there ever was, but what’s really
great about it is that Brandon and Kate “genuinely bring out the best
in one another.”
