Brynlee & Caleb: A Love Story That Started With a Cheer and a Concert

Some love stories start with a chance encounter, while others are orchestrated by fate—or, in this case, by a determined mother! Brynlee and Caleb’s journey began long before their first official date, thanks to Caleb’s mom, who saw a spark before they even met.

How It All Began

Brynlee cheered in high school with Caleb’s younger sister, and during her senior year, Caleb’s mom approached her with a bold declaration: “I think you are so cute! You should date my son when he comes home.” At the time, Caleb was serving his LDS mission in Texas and was set to return that August.

Curious about the boy his mom spoke so highly of, Brynlee soon found out Caleb thought she was cute, too—thanks to his mom sending him a picture of her! They began chatting over Facebook Messenger on his P-days, getting to know each other before they even met in person.

When it came time for their first date, Brynlee wasn’t leaving anything up to chance. She took matters into her own hands and strongly encouraged Caleb and his friend to take her and her best friend on a double date—to none other than a Thomas Rhett concert. Caleb, being the gentleman he is, bought the tickets, and a week after he returned home from his mission, the big date happened!

The First Date & The Awkward Phase

The concert was amazing, but Caleb was still in what Brynlee lovingly calls his “awkward missionary phase.” However, that didn’t stop their connection from growing. A few days after the concert, Caleb showed up at Brynlee’s front door with flowers in hand, ready for another date. He took her on a beautiful picnic in Logan Canyon, and from that moment on, they were inseparable.

But love stories aren’t always smooth sailing. Just a few weeks into their relationship, Caleb moved to Oregon to play college baseball, and they embarked on a year of long-distance dating—something they both agree was the hardest year ever! Despite the miles between them, their bond only grew stronger, and when Caleb came home for good, they made up for lost time. Since then, they’ve spent every day together, dreaming of their future and planning their wedding.

Favorite Things to Do Together

Brynlee and Caleb’s relationship is built on love, laughter, and a whole lot of fun! Some of their favorite things to do together include:

Their love story is a testament to patience, persistence, and the magic of young love. From an innocent high school connection to a matchmaking mom, a concert first date, and a long-distance challenge, Brynlee and Caleb’s journey has been nothing short of an adventure. Now, they’re ready to take on forever—one date night, road trip, and LEGO set at a time!
