Our Wedding

Rico and Tasha met working together at the Ohio Attorney General's Office. Rico started at the&nbsp;Ohio Attorney General's Office in 2013, and Tasha joined in 2014.&nbsp;

Their first interaction was at a pizza party for the new-hires, which Tasha does not remember. Although she is pretty sure she noticed that Rico was cute.&nbsp;





They ran into each other again shortly after that because they happened to park in the same parking&nbsp;garage. Turns out timing really IS&nbsp;everything, as they ran into each other frequently after that, walking to and from&nbsp;work. A friendship and romantic&nbsp;interest blossomed.&nbsp;&nbsp;





Tasha passed the bar shortly after those encounters and Rico (wearing a denim tuxedo for Halloween)&nbsp;made his move and asked her on date.&nbsp;





During their first date,&nbsp;the&nbsp;Browns beat the Bengals.&nbsp;





It was fate.&nbsp; 





Rico and Tasha have been together ever since.&nbsp;
