We're getting MARRIED!

On our first date, Andrew came to pick me up. He had planned the entire evening, and for dinner, he took me to Garozzo’s for an amazing Italian meal. I was already a bit nervous on the way there, but I became even more anxious when he drove us through a run-down neighborhood. For a split second, I thought—is he planning to kidnap me?! (Haha!) After dinner, he surprised me with a trip to the Belvoir Winery in Liberty, Missouri. We had such a wonderful time. He gave me a little tour of the place, and when we got to the fountain, I asked why it wasn’t running. Without missing a beat and with a straight face, he said, “Where would it go?” I hadn’t laughed that hard in years—I was crying from laughing so much. And he kept me laughing like that for the rest of the night. That night left such a mark on our hearts that years later, when we started planning our wedding, the choice of venue was easy. We went back to where it all began—Belvoir Winery. The place that made me laugh until I cried, and the night I realized I could never let him go.
