Jim asked me on a date in February and we met at Barnes and Noble in Sioux Falls. It wasn't completely clear that we were "right for each other" but Jim asked for a second date, and a friend convinced Roxanne that maybe she should go and just see what happens. So, we had a second date. This time, Jim elicited the experience of a couple teenagers (including at the time, his daughter) and a helpful shop saleswoman, dressed up for the date, showed up early so we didn't have to wait in line, and that night was the beginning of it all. It wasn't until much later that we both felt we were meant for one another, but since then we have had marvelous experiences, ups and downs, and everything inbetween! So here we are, ready to marry on a paddle boat, with friends and family around us, hoping to make the day a fun, memorable, and life-long beginning. We are so glad you have decided to be a part of it!
