Our Wedding

Inspired by a NBA players famous words over Snapchat, What it do baby, Robert had made himself known to Rachael in what neither of them expected to be the beginning of a lifetime together. What makes this story even better is that their first date was on none other than 11-11 [make a wish ;)]. These two have been through it all together, including Rachael nearly sending Robert into an early eternity due to their following date being a tree climbing experience that Robert enjoyed so much. 2020 rolled around and Robert had finally come to his senses and made Rachael his girlfriend. These two would do the unthinkable and plan to leave the country together for the wedding of a friend that Robert had never met in person before (shout out Murphy and Thalia) in what would become a memorable experience for all parties involved. Rachael would then make Roberts dreams come true by acquiring the elusive PlayStation 5, followed by buying them tickets to his very first Knicks game. But how did Robert repay her, you may ask? Lets just say he decided to post a picture highlighting HIMSELF from her birthday trip they took to an art museum (yeah please do not be like me people, a fight would ensue and correct actions would be taken after said basketball game.) Their first Valentines Day was spent at Sushi Palace, a place that Rachael had added to Roberts arsenal of favorite foods. (Fun fact, they still use this place as a yearly date night to commerate the occasion.) More holidays and gathering would go by until we got to the first anniversary on October 26th 2021. To this day it has been our worst dine out experience, however arguably the best photographs we have taken to date. Time would pass and eventually Robert would listen to his call back to faith with the support of his soon to be fiancé. In due time, Robert decided to join Rachael in being baptized into the body of Christ. Soon after, he would enlist the help of his sister-in-law Rita to devise the plan to get Rachaels ring and officially start the journey to becoming husband and wife. December 6th, 2023, in front of Radio City Music hall it finally happened: Robert and Rachael officially embarked on their RH squared journey... This rendition was carefully edited and approved by Rachael Bitter, no injury has come to those involved. (mostly).
