Our first date was at Tuscan Kitchen three years ago, and we eventually got engaged at that very same restaurant. There’s not much to say about our story—we simply knew from that first date that this time, it was going to work. We knew our relationship would be filled with laughter and that we would support one another, offering comfort, respect, and joy through all of life’s moments. After all, isn’t that what love is?
We LOVE this city. We have both visited separately and together. Every time we visit, we fall in love with the charm, culture, community and the overall vibe that the city possess. For the most the important day in our lives, we want to share this city with the people that are closest to us.
