Our story started in January 2012 when the HR Manager at our work informed me that the new Operations Manager had the same birthday as me. We instantly became friends sharing our love for our kids and are passion for all Philly sports.


Fast forward a few months, and many requests later, I finally said yes to a date. After a few years of dating, we decided to take our relationship to the next level. We bought a house and along with our kids all moved in together.


11 years later, he finally proposed on Madeira Beach. I was so surprised, I looked at him and said what are you doing as he got down on one knee. Of course after the initial shock, I said Yes. He will never let me live that down!


We surely have had some ups and downs, but we figured it out together. All of our adversity and successes have only strengthened our love. All of you have played a role in our lives and we are truly grateful for each and every one of you.


To our kids, we love you and have enjoyed this journey with you. Keep reaching for your dreams.


We look forward to celebrating with you!


Love,
Bernadette & Pat
