One summer night at a retirement party at the Round Up, I met a very tall and handsome man. If you can believe it, I told him "Goodnight" almost immediately after our mutual friends introduced us. We laugh about it now.

Soon after we went on the best date I've ever had. We drove all over the county without hesitation. The night was endless ... eating, enjoying Fort Lauderdale's finest libations, we watched "Despicable Me," talked on the beach, and finished with the sunrise, and breakfast the next day.

Two years later, on our trip to visit family in Boston, he almost proposed on my favorite bridge: the Bow Bridge in Central Park, New York. It was unexpectedly closed, but he made it work anyway. We visited the Statue of Liberty and right there on Ellis Island he popped the question and I said, "Yes!" There was one more planned surprise to appear that year, our one and only Sunday (born on a Tuesday). Well a wedding wasn't in the cards, so we eloped December 22, 2012.

The following year she was born and we bought our forever home. A wedding seemed to be on hold a little longer than expected. So, here we are 12 years later, ready to recommit our love in the presence 24 of our dearest family members. What a beautiful ride this continues to be and we can't thank you enough for your support throughout the years and more to come.
