Arkansas Engagement: Jessica McNeil of Germantown, Tenn. & Brandon Robinson of Pine Bluff

Jessica Ellen McNeil of Germantown, Tenn. and Brandon Carter Robinson of Pine Bluff –  both residents of Little Rock – are engaged to be married Sept. 22 at the Mildred B. Cooper Memorial Chapel in Bella Vista in a small ceremony in front of family. The couple will have a wedding reception for friends and family at 6 p.m. Oct. 6 at the Historic Rogers House in Little Rock. Congratulations to them both!

Jessica and Brandon met through his brother and mutual friends. Jessica had been in a political science class with Brandon’s brother Brent and his girlfriend Mary at the University of Arkansas. After Jessica graduated with a master’s degree and moved to Little Rock, Brandon would often see Jessica at political events they both attended. It was at one of these events at the Governor’s Mansion that Brandon’s brother formally introduced them. Although Jessica was in a relationship at the time, she definitely caught his eye. A few years later, Brandon found out Jessica was single, and he quickly seized the moment to ask her out. They dated for a couple of years, and Brandon popped the question at the Capital Hotel on Dec. 21, 2011, in front of the Christmas tree. She said yes!
