Thomas and Brandy Rodriguez have always been very different from each other. Thomas has the patience of a saint, while Brandy can sometimes feel tense. Thomas is a cautious overthinker, while Brandy is spontaneous and adventurous. But Brandy thinks differences provide balance.
“It’s cute that we can be so different but have the same morals and outlook on life and work so well as a team,” Brandy says. “We really are meant for each other because we just fit together so well.”
Originally meeting while working as servers at Outback Steakhouse, Thomas and Brandy were together for three years before Thomas proposed in 2015. After they married in 2016, the couple had two children and moved to Southlake last year to raise their family.
“It’s important to both of us that our kids are raised to know the difference between right and wrong and what it means to work hard for what you want,” Brandy says. “We want to raise our kids to have a great impact on their community.”
But through parenthood and beyond, Thomas and Brandy are confident knowing they’ll be supporting each other.
“Whatever my weaknesses are, those are his strengths and vice versa,” Brandy says. “Whenever I’m forgetful, he has a reminder. Whenever he’s feeling shy, I’m outgoing. Whenever I’m anxious, he knows how to calm me down. No matter what hurdle we come across, we always take it on as a team.”
