In February 2010, Susan Gale Kenney was working as a wine sales representative in Charleston, S.C., and needed a date for a black-tie work fundraiser. With only one day’s notice to find a date, Susan asked her coworker, Michelle Braud, if she knew anyone who would be suitable to have around clients. Michelle actually had a good friend, Brandin James DuBos, who she had been secretly waiting for the chance to introduce to Susan. Susan and Brandin spent the evening drinking wine, talking and meandering around the ballroom while trying food from various restaurants. The two were instantly inseparable.
The couple now lives in Mid-City and are planning a fall honeymoon in the Caribbean. Brandin is the Event Coordinator at Gambit while Susan is the New Orleans Field Marketing Representative for Restaurant Depot.
