Our Wedding

E: I never really believed much in love at first sight. Mario changed that for me. When you connect like I did with Mario the first time we met it’s hard not to believe in love at first sight.   M: Yes, absolutely. Meeting in person I knew that she was my future wife and mother to my children.

Was it love at first sight?

E: He did. It was a drunk text and it took him forever to say it again afterwards. Partially because I would joke that he said it before our second date.    M: I did. I was drunk on New Years and we had celebrated separately and I texted her “love you” at midnight.

Who said ‘I love you’ first?

E: We were sitting in bed and he turned over with a ring box and handed it to me. When I opened the box he popped the question.   M: I told her I had a surprise and was hiding it from her. She pestered me for a week. When it came to the day I was super shy. I ended up doing it in bed by handing her the ring.

How did he propose?

E: Our first date. We met up in Elma and I had followed him up into Capital forest, to start a bonfire. While up there we got to know each other under the stars. The adventure part was when I got my little Honda Accord stuck in a hole and Mario just kept chugging along leaving me. Took him 10 minutes to realize I was stuck.   M: Our first hike. We had just gotten our puppy, Oakley she was 8 weeks old and beyond ready to get to the top. Midway through she got tired and we finished the hike halfway through but getting her out and about was my favorite.

What is your favorite memory together so far?
