Up Coffee Roasters was conveniently across the street from Keri's work. She was a bit of a regular. Jared was this handsome, very pleasant man behind the counter. An invitation from Jared to an event at the roastery, with an awfully awkward response from geeky girl Keri was how it all started.

Keri came home late on a Monday night. Jared, dressed up to the nines, was waiting in the living room. With red roses and candles on every surface of the open floor plan, he said of all the places or ways he could propose, he wanted our home to hold this memory. It was intimate, lovely and wonderfully romantic. We probably will never move!!
