The journey began back in 2011 at Joanne's work where Rene & Joanne first met. After many months of Rene's persistence, 8 to be exact...Joanne & Rene went on their first date at Brookfield Zoo. From that day forward they became in-separable and became not only a couple, but, best friends as well! Like other couples we have gone through the good and the bad, through the years we have always been there for one another and have never let one another down. In a lot of ways we have completed one another and turned our lives around.
