We met via a series of casual run-ins at the dog park. The catch was that Barbara and Mac Dog rarely actually came into the park. Joel got creative and one particularly warm day, offered to pass a bucket of water over the fence. It was the perfect first move, allowing for a brief conversation... Soon Barbara and Mac Dog were joined by Joel and Cash outside of the dog park for daily fetch. Fast forward to a sunny afternoon in August and another round of fetch with pups outside the park where they had met the year before. Joel waited until Barbara had turned to throw the tennis ball, quickly got down on one knee and when she returned to continue talking, Joel asked Barbara to marry him. (She said yes.) We cannot wait to celebrate with all of you soon!
