Wedding Date

Our Love Story

We were introduced by mutual friends and set up on a couples date. We all 4 laughed until we literally were crying. Who knew that Blind dates actually work out. The rest is history. We couldn't be happier and thanks our friends "The Thiele's" more than we can say.

The Proposal

We went back to where we had our first date. Robert had Roses and a ring and the whole thing planned out. It was amazing and very memorable.
