Our engagement at Fordham University. Even though we were living in Florida, we knew we had to go back to where we first said "I love you" to say yes to saying "I love you" forever.

Johanne and Maria. A mother's love is one of the most powerful things in the world. Her love is key in Maria and Luke's support system.

Luke's family. Everyone has their tribes. Luke is lucky to have this one. With out their constant love and support he wouldn't be anywhere near where he is now.

Millie, Milfred, Mildew, Midgeback, Pitipotamous. She goes by many names, but she's proudest of the title "fur daughter" to Maria and Luke.

We have lived in 4 different states together! This is our favorite spot in Pensacola, FL: George's Bistro and Bar.

Sisters. Lily and Maria will always be together in spirit. Luke had to get Lily's approval to date Maria back in college. She said yes.

We spent many holidays in Springfield. Did someone say "Dairy Queen?!"

A family photo. Look at those ears!

Maria and Papa! Who does Maria get her love of dogs and animals? You're looking at him! Papa is loved by all animals. It must be from all the salt he accumulated as a Coastie in his youth.

The Chief! Grandpa Johnston is an inspiration to all of us. Luke has always looked up to him as one of his role models. His marriage has taught us all the power of love.

Maria and her dad in New York! We always love when he and Lisa come to visit!

Maria and her brother Goose! He is a looker for sure. Their bond is like no other!
