Our Story

On an island of 50,000 people, we found love.

Margaret and Evan first met at a breakfast on the beautiful island of St. Croix, USVI. She thought he was cute, but he said no when she offered her leftovers. So, it was not until the next time they saw each other that their relationship truly began. One sunny day in October, Evan and his pal Jay were constructing cornhole boards when Jay invited his friend Margaret over. Margaret was still fairly new to the island, so it was a perfect opportunity to make new friends. One thing after the other and the boards were finished but there was one problem, there were not any bean bags. It was Evan and Margaret's mission to get out and get the beans. It took them HOURS to find the beans because they were completely lost in getting to know each other. Evan was immediately attracted to Margaret's positive happy energy and her openness for adventures. Margaret loved the fact that Evan kept her laughing and was truly interested in the conversations at hand. That was the start. In the one and a half amazing years together on St. Croix, Margaret and Evan went through two Cat 5 hurricanes, added another dogter, Winnie, to the family, and went on countless adventures. After all the good memories, Evan decided that it was time to turn Miss to Mrs. While visiting San Antonio, Evan and his mother, Beverly, went to ten different ring shops until one ring caught his eye. After consulting Margaret's sister Rebecca, he knew it was the perfect ring for Margaret. Now, Evan knew Margaret picked up every penny she found, so he wrote on a penny, "Marry Me." Then, during their trip to California, Evan took Margaret to the beach for a walk they would never forget. He took her to Shell Beach and put the penny in the sand and waited for Margaret to see it. She finally picked the penny up and turned around to see Evan on his knee asking her to be his wife. She said "YES!" instantly. We're excited to start this next chapter with all of you!!! See you in LA!!!!
