We’re getting married!

John was a server at 1818 chophouse in Edwardsville and when Charli was hired as a hostess, it was game over! John was instantly smitten and would not leave Charli alone. Every shift they worked together, John would ask Charli to go to Taco Bell for a romantic, high end date. After months of persistence, Charli finally fell for John’s charm, good looks and promise for a crunchy taco combo meal. The rest is history.

The couple planned a weekend getaway with their friends in St. James, Missouri to visit wineries. Before anyone else arrived, John and Charli spent the day together getting lunch at a hole in the wall bar, Johnnie’s, and exploring Uranus Fudge Factory And General Store. They strolled a Christmas tree farm in a quiet field where John professed his love to Charli and asked her to marry him! They spent the rest of the weekend celebrating with their friends Carlie, Alex, Noah and Madison!
