Our Wedding

We met during a game of volleyball while members of the Let's Do Something Meetup group. We started dating in August of 2010. We moved in together in February of 2013. We rescued two dogs. Jackson is a Great Dane/Lab mix and full of spunk
 at all times. He still holds the reputation of "Worst Puppy in the World". Tank is a Pit Bull/American Bull Dog was is better known as a bull in a China shop.
 
In November of 2015 we bought our first house together and have enjoyed making it a home for us and Logan.

Our Relationship

Deb thought&nbsp;we were going out to dinner with our friends Matt and Sara to Little Harbor, a small beach with a tiki bar. Instead Richard had planned a romantic walk on the beach (complete with a Red Solo Cup of wine). It was at sunset on New Year's
 Eve.
As we were waiting for our table, which didn't exist since it was a setup, Richard got on one knee and proposed.
Best day ever!
