The countdown to our fairytale wedding is on!

Our Fairytale started with a little Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust (aka a dating app). Franco (Gianfranco) took a leap of Faith and asked me to go sightseeing around Orlando. I was new to the area so this seemed like a great idea as "friends". I wanted to meet new people and explore the new place that I had just moved to. Going on this first "outing" I believe we both had the same mindset that we were just going to get to know each other as friends. This outing definitely was the most romantic “get-together” I had ever been on and honestly seemed more like a date. This get-together started off with a stroll through Citywalk which is located in Universal Studios. We strolled around Citywalk for a bit and then he took me to a hidden area that I had never been to before. It was a beautiful garden trail that led us to the Portofino hotel. The Portofino Hotel boasts the most beautiful landscape with a lake that is filled with boats depicting the authentic Italian lifestyle. Franco is of Italian descent so it is fitting that he brought me to this beautiful place. We sat there and talked for hours and knew right away we had a connection. We watched the fireworks go off over us in the distance from the castle in Harry Potter. This is where our Fairytale started. That connection brought us to our dreams of a Fairytale Wedding. Our love story started as friends and quickly turned into a lifelong commitment. When the shoe (glass slipper) fits you must wear it. "Dare if you want to. Don't fear you'll fall.
