Two people leading their own lives cross paths and were friends first, then happily ever after. The two met 8 years ago at FedEx Ground and were fast friends for years before Angela moved on to her next adventure, massage school and a new job. Though the two drifted briefly their love was destined. Once again the two were brought back together when John started working at Supervalu. Angela was clocking in when she heard a familiar voice. As she turned, John was descending a staircase with a gleaming smile and twinkling eyes, and so began their epic romance. As they went on their first date, neither was even sure how the transition from friends to a couple would go but the best things are worth the risk.

John and Angela went on their first date on July 9, 2016. "The Secret Life of Pets" was the film of choice and the two found that the true secret is that friendship is the best foundation to a lasting relationship.

After a month of courting John and Angela made it official, coupling as of August 7, 2016. Cupid's arrow hit this couple more than once in 2016. The more time the couple spent together the more they realized they knew what they wanted, a future with the other forevermore.

John had planned the perfect proposal and then Angela went and broke her foot a week before the Bears football game. Even with the new challenge it was an amazing day. After driving to Chicago and attending the game where the Bears triumphed over Tampa Bay Buccaneers 48-10, John got down on one knee and proposed. And Angela said YES!

While planning a wedding they say "it's all downhill after the dress". In December of 2019, Angela said YES TO THE DRESS! Excited and happy Angela got her wedding plans in order, and as she was about to send out the invites the state ordered everyone to shelter in place due to COVID-19. Just like the proposal this couples' plans had to change and the upward battle began. Confronted with all the issues we have been dealing with due to Covid-19, a wedding seems impossible and has been challenging but love conquers all! Angela and John postponed their wedding by a year and now they are excited to celebrate with you. The Wedding is happening soon and we will celebrate as this is a new year and a new beginning. See you July 24th, 2021 to embrace life and celebrate the loving union of two souls.

To be written, but starts a little something like this: After 9 years John and Angela finally GOT MARRIED!
