Our story isn't like a fairytale, it isn't the Cinderella scenario most girls dream of their entire life...the breath taking moment when you look up and your eyes connect with Mr. Perfect and at that moment you know...you found 'the one'. In Fall of 2016, our eyes caught glances of each other, at, out of all places... a bowling alley. While my eyes gawked at his flames peeling off of his Dexter SST 1 instead of gazing into his crystal green eyes, there was something special about this guy. And while our first dinner wasn't at a fancy, high-end steakhouse, our conversation, the laughter and fun we had on our first date was a bit magical. So magical, that something caused both of us to take a gamble, take a 6 hour car ride and spend a weekend together along the beautiful Virginia coastline. That trip was the first chapter of our fairytale. From that moment we both knew there was something more to one another; more to the down-to-earth, humble, hard-working father of two....there was more to the 5'2" Italian from Oregon, who can't seem to sit still for more than 20 minutes. We have grown together in many ways since the Fall of 2016; there have been tears from laughter and tears from frustration. Smiles from amazing accomplishments and smiles watching two beautiful girls grow up in front of our eyes. On February 15th (thank goodness it wasn't Valentine's Day), the fairytale chapter all Cinderella's wait for happened...down on one knee, following a forced couple-dance, at one of our favorite vineyards, in front of a crowded room of people, my Charming asked for my hand in marriage. Now, the next chapter begins... the chapter that truly will seal-the-deal.... at 5pm on September 28, 2018 we will begin our lives together as Potters. We can't wait for you to share in our special day as all of our family and friends have helped us get to where we are today; we are truly blessed to know so many unbelievable people.
