We're Getting Married!

Amber and Drew are the type of people who take matters into their own hands. They don't often leave things to chance. However, they both took a chance on love using a little help from the internet and the dating app Tinder. They chatted for a bit but when their communication started to fade out, Drew knew he didn't want to miss his shot. He worked up the nerve to ask Amber to meet him at Patrick Henry Pub, a cool local bar in his neighborhood. They hit it off and hung out for over two hours, laughing the entire time. Five years later, they are still laughing together with their blended animal family of a dog, Boogie and 4 cats, Taco, Bell, Blaise, and Boudica. Amber and Drew continue to fall more and more in love every day and cannot wait to share their love with YOU, their closest friends and family!

People often say “Distance makes the heart grow fonder” and Drew experienced this first hand. Drew was house-sitting for his parents when he started to go stir crazy. He missed Amber and realized just how much he adored her company. As the hours passed he grew more and more eager to see her. After a 4am phone call Amber drove to his parents. Together they watched the sunrise on the rooftop, reunited and it felt so good. That was the moment he knew. Drew didn’t want to wait any longer. When his parents got home, he asked his mother to get the ring out of the safe. He called Amber's dad and asked for his blessing to marry his daughter. He was ready. The following weekend Drew and Amber were to attend his company’s holiday party. Amber had some suspicion that Drew was starting to plan his biggest surprise and even caught him on the phone with her father! Amber did what any girl would do - called her sister, painted her nails, and tried to be as patient as possible. Drew had many scenic opportunities to propose to Amber while at the Jefferson Hotel but he wanted to keep her on her toes. He decided to test her patience. Towards the end of the night Drew led Amber to the photo booth where they took photos every year. Amber had assumed at this point of the night that the proposal wasn’t happening, but he took her completely by surprise! They have the pictures to prove it! The happy couple called all their family and closest friends to celebrate & share their good news. The night ended by drinking champagne and toasting to the next chapter of their lives. Drew & Amber cannot wait to continue to celebrate this part of their love story with you! See you in Richmond! L'Chaim!
