We had the luck of the Irish with us on Saint Patrick’s Day last year! We met at a bar after being set up through… Kristina’s coworker and Kirk’s brother in law, Matt Roohan, and Kirk’s twin sister, Kelsey. They had been desperately trying to set us up for months to the point Kristina began hiding from Matt at work, and Kirk started screening Kelsey and Matt’s phone calls. Turns out, they knew us better than we thought. After a few minutes of conversation, some old school rap came on. When we both started dancing and singing along to every word, we knew right away this could be the start of something special. We didn’t find a four-leaf clover that night, but we did find love!

Kristina was getting anxious. It had been almost two whole days on our vacation to Disneyworld and Kirk hadn’t popped the question yet. “My favorite place on Earth, and he hasn’t proposed yet? What is he doing?” she thought. Kirk on the other hand, knew exactly what he was doing. Having snuck the ring into his pocket after stowing it away in his toiletry bag, he was waiting for the right moment to come together. As the night progressed, Kirk saw his window of opportunity. As we walked past Cinderella’s castle Kirk said, “let’s just take a picture here with the photographer while no one is in line.” As he made Kristina go put her jacket on the rail, “so it wouldn’t get dirty,” Kirk told the photographer he was going to propose. There, in front of the castle, Kirk got down on one knee and asked Kristina to be his bride. After regaining her ability to speak, SHE SAID YES!
