Our Wedding

Sharing a passion&nbsp;for adventure, Dia and Chris&nbsp;both moved to Los Angeles after college.&nbsp;

One day during a quiet lunch shift at Rock 'N' Fish, a friend of&nbsp;Dia's&nbsp;told her to "get a load of the guy at the door," and she greeted a tall well-dressed gentleman with dreamy blue eyes. &nbsp;Chris knew that a corner office with a view was not for him.&nbsp;











As they worked together, Chris discovered they both shared a passion for all things nerd. When he discovered they were&nbsp;PS3 compatible it was final, he purchased Max Payne&nbsp;3 and gifted it to her for Christmas. An arrow to the heart at that moment meant she had to break down her barriers and give this hilariously, warm-hearted guy a chance.&nbsp;











&nbsp;They moved in together with 5 of her kittens,&nbsp;eventually he adopted a dog and&nbsp;they took a trip to Disneyland to celebrate her birthday!











First they watched the&nbsp;Red Sox take on the&nbsp;Angels (and win), then they travelled to the happiest place on Earth! They had so much fun they returned the next year to celebrate her birthday again.











This time with exclusive access to the famed Club 33, they dined on the balcony overlooking Disney's New Orleans Square.&nbsp;They laughed and ran all the way to the secret entrance and rang the bell.











Escorted by the footman through the courtyard they were greeted by name and&nbsp;treated as royalty. As they took their seats, Chris began to fidget. He could not wait a moment longer and he grabbed Dia by the hand. He said,"Every year for the rest of your life I promise to give you a gift, but this year I am asking you for a gift." As he stood, Dia stopped breathing, then&nbsp;he kneeled in front of her and asked that she marry him. Bursting into tears she leapt from her chair exclaiming, "YES, yes of course!" They hugged and kissed, they toasted champagne and all the staff and guests cheered! Deliriously happy the stopped&nbsp;for a&nbsp;photo by the&nbsp;harpsichord and&nbsp;they walked into their future together. As they skipped out on cloud nine,&nbsp;the couple went&nbsp;back to their hotel with the fanciest bottle of champagne the gas station had to offer and they&nbsp;lived&nbsp;happily ever after...

The ultimate outdoor drama experience... also our original idea for a wedding location.We reserved a group rate for Friday August 30, if you're interested just let us&nbsp;know, you really want to see this. We are having our rehearsal dinner there bc it's super amazing, I swear it!

No fee to enter, open daily&nbsp;8:30am-5:00pm.&nbsp;This is a really interesting sight to see. There are multiple native mounds around town but I&nbsp;would start here.&nbsp;Earthen mounds and embankments forming huge geometric enclosures grace the landscape of the Ohio River Valley. These monumental structures were built by Native American hands almost 2,000 years ago. Hopewellian people gathered at these earthworks for feasts, funerals and rites of passage.&nbsp; Come learn about these sacred spaces and reflect upon the lives of these American Indians.
