Celebrate with Us

Derek and Tina were first introduced to each other through a mutual friend. They hit it off right away as they shared a lot of common interests. Soon after meeting Tina, Derek started to work at the same country club that Tina worked. Gradually, Derek and Tina found themselves spending a lot of time together.

It was New Year's Eve. Derek and Tina decided to celebrate by having a quiet evening at home. As the night progressed, they started to reflect on the year together. Derek and Tina reminisced about all the adventures they have had so far and how much they have grown together. Conversation and laughter turned to silence as both of them pondered memories from the year. Then, Derek suddenly asked a big question. It was unrehearsed and unplanned, but Tina knew that he was serious. There was a pause as the proposal caught both of them both by surprise. Finally, Tina said "YES". As the clock struck twelve, the newly engaged couple shared a kiss while fireworks went off in the distance.

As all their closest friends and family already know, February 22, 2022 was not Derek or Tina's first or second choice for a wedding date. They originally meant to tie the knot on June 19, 2020. As Derek and Tina were finalizing all the details in February 2020, Covid-19 was spreading. Derek and Tina made the difficult decision to postpone the wedding. It got postponed May 16, 2021 before getting postponed again. Still, Derek and Tina were determined to have a formal ceremony. For the safety of everyone, the ceremony will have a very limited guest count. Please feel free to contribute to our registry as your support would be greatly appreciated. Please stay tuned for the wedding ceremony video and an invitation to a formal reception when we may safely gather again.
