It all started when we were working at a treatment center in Detroit where Curt found me in a closet! Talk about a hilarious and confusing first encounter. Harry Potter vibes? Perhaps... But that moment led to something amazing! We became friends and realized later there was something special between us. But like any great love story, there were ups and downs. Long-distance, moving around, chasing our dreams – we've been through it all! But it only made our bond stronger, and we learned so much about ourselves and each other along the way. After all the years of best friendship, Curt popped the question, and of course, I said YES! We're so grateful for your support and can't wait to celebrate this big day with you all! Love, Barb & Curt
Deciding to propose wasn’t something I took lightly. I prayed on it, spoke with my best buddies, and even had a chat with a cool priest. With their thumbs-up and blessings, I knew it was time to put a ring on it. I had a secret chat with Cristy, Barb’s sister, and Sofia, her childhood best friend. Those two were in on the master plan. I had to keep things secret, so I just told her to get dressed up for a nice dinner. Classic Barb, she swapped outfits more times than I can count, and settled on shorts and tank top. 😂 Dinner starts, and just when we’re waiting for our food, Barb’s phone lights up with a FaceTime call from her sister, and my phone gets one from Sofia. I got on my knee, and I can still see that look of total shock on her face as she happily yelled, “Shut the eff up!” followed by, “No way, shut the eff up!” The whole restaurant clapped for us, and here we are! Cheers to all of you for being part of our love story and supporting us through thick and thin. I can’t wait to celebrate with you on our big day. Curt (aka the luckiest man alive)
