It was a blind date...on a beautiful, not a cloud in the sky, sunny day. We met at Patchou (downtown Indy). Allison was walking up the sidewalk in a long blue/white stripped skirt, jean jacket and matching blue sunglasses. Andrew told Allison he was speechless when he saw her. Andrew had on his frat boy plaid shorts and a white t-shirt. Allison was in awe! They enjoyed a great brunch: talked about politics, family, where they went to school, and things they enjoyed. After the date, they shared a kiss...and the rest is history!
This is a long story because the day didn't go according to Andrew's original plan...we will skip to the happy part. Allison had been downtown for a wedding. The plan was to meet up with Andrew after the wedding for lunch on the canal (one of their favorite things to do). Allison met Andrew and the puppy at Fresco Italian Cafe, they decided to walk a little on the canal to find a quieter place to eat (it was bust that day). Allison's most favorite food in the world are freshly-made macaroons. Andrew had brought some for Allison...yum! Allison told him she will have some after she ate her lunch, Andrew INSISTED! Allison opened the box slightly and had one, Andrew said "open it more." There was a black, sparkly box in the macaroon box!! Andrew took it out, got on one knee...Allison can not remember what he said, she just remembers them both crying and her saying "YES!!"
