Rugby, duh! We all know just how the rugby community works. It's a small world, and our paths were meant to cross at some point in time.
Anyone who knows Casey knows that there are two things that bring her an unmatched level of joy - being surrounded by her friends and traveling to adventurous places. So why not base one of the most memorable days of our lives around them? Our friends were planning to travel to Mardi Gras to experience what all the hype is about. I knew immediately that it would be perfect. As some already knew, Casey and I celebrated our first official date at Preservation Hall in New Orleans. So we arranged for our entire group to attend a show; afterwards, we redirected the group to their private courtroom for the biggest surprise of the trip. With some of our closest friends documenting the entire thing, I got down on one knee and asked the love of my life to be mine forever. After saying yes, we celebrated in the grand stands of one of the most exciting nights of the Mardi Gras season. Drinks were had, beads were caught, pictures were taken - the night lives forever in my memories as a perfect mix of sentiment and excitement. We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives with you.
