  • Meet My Hubby
    Jan 15 2025

    Join Cassie and her husband, Brandon, as they delve into the contrasts between their teenage years in Wilmington and Fayetteville.

    Brandon grew up in Fayetteville, a city frequently misjudged by those who haven't experienced its community firsthand. Known for its military presence, Fayetteville often gets a bad rap as being gritty and unsafe, but how much truth is there to these perceptions?

    In addition to exploring these hometown differences, Brandon shares his unique insights on what life is like being married to the "NC Queen!"
