About Desiree'

Desiree' was born in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, and moved 14-months later to Montclair, Virginia where she still resides. A life-long Eagles fan, one of Desiree’s favorite activities is watching football with her dad and Brandon, who unfortunately is a Redskins Fan. While growing up, Desiree' was involved in year-round swimming in addition to running cross-country and track. She attended James Madison University and graduated in May 2003 with a Bachelor in Business Management with a Human Resources concentration.

Currently, Desiree' works for YRCI at the National Science Foundation in Arlington, VA where she performs a variety of human resources functions such as staffing and recruitment. Although she was heart-broken when she discovered that she could not lifeguard or bartend forever, Desiree' thoroughly enjoys her work.

Desiree’s parents, Ed and Sharon, still live in Montclair and are extremely excited for the wedding and meeting all of Brandon’s family and friends.

About Brandon

Brandon was born in Bluefield, West Virginia, and moved to Virginia four years later. While growing up, Brandon was involved in various sports and activities; however, once he entered high school, Brandon chose to concentrate solely on tennis. Brandon earned an athletic scholarship for tennis and attended Bluefield State College in Bluefield, WV where he majored in Criminal Justice.

 

Brandon is currently employed by Fairfax County Public Schools as a middle school Special Education Teacher at South County Secondary. He is also very active in the tennis community, teaching private lessons, and running numerous tennis clinics at the Montclair Country Club. Brandon recently purchased his first home and he and Desiree' are currently in the process of furnishing and renovating it.  

 

Brandon's family includes his parents, Dean and Becky, who live in Stafford, Virginia and his two brothers - Jeremy, who is 24, and Christopher, who is 14. The Morehead family cannot wait to meet Desiree’s extended family and friends.  


How It Happened

Brandon and Desiree' both attended Hylton High School and have known each other for years; however, it wasn’t until they reconnected in early 2007 that the passing friendship turned into much more. Immediately after they started dating, Desiree' and Brandon were together every day, and throughout the following months they were inseparable. It became very obvious to family and friends that the relationship was serious when Desiree' and Brandon started planning family dinners, and trips to visit out-of-town relatives together. Brandon proposed on Sunday, September 16, 2007.
