...it is a classic Boy-Meets-Girl situation. Girl walks into his life, boy knows instantly he has met his next love interest. Boy gets courage to ask girl out. Girl asks for rain check. Boy says sure, thinking it is a decline. Girl comes back a few days later, asking for her rain check. Boy seriously thought she had blown him off. They make a date. Then they go on a pre-date a day before the date.

... for several years. Boy teaches girl of Tucson monsoons, pumpkin patches, and roller coasters. Girl teaches boy of cooking, music, and hiking. Finally, they decide to do the whole marriage thing. Boy tries to secretly plan an engagement. Girl figures it out. Exasperated, boy gets girl to pick a place for the engagement, then steals all her friends to secretly (...better secretly, anyway...) plan the who, what, when, where, and why.

Disneyland. Girl knows the where... and that is about it. Boy gleefully puts his plan into action with the help of friends, his and hers (especially one, the inimitable Krista!!!!). Girl knows of a few places that are likely, but boy's plan works like a charm, and she is surprised. Boy is nervous, and subsequently mumbles his proposal. Girl laughs, says yes. The other friends pop out of the woodwork and commence more rides and fun!

Boy and Girl decide to marry in October 2017; the same month as their birthdays (...we are just lazy, just do it all the same month and be done...), and the point of being together for a decade! We are very excited and joyful to have our family and friends join us for this special occasion!
