We first met when we were just kids, not knowing many years later we would be getting married on a beach in Mexico. In the many encounters throughout our adolescent years, we knew there was a spark but never acted on it. It wasn't until Mitch's 23rd birthday that he actually asked me out on a date. The date was Paola's dance recital, his mom, grandma and brother would also be attending. He didn't pick me up and I wasn't going to show up on my own, so I stood him up. That night, he came over wondering why I didn't show up. We ended up going out for some wings and beer at Buffalo Wild Wings and that was the beginning of our happily ever after.
