Even though we legally got married on our original wedding date, the event we are holding on July 10th will look like a full wedding! We still want those typical wedding moments, so we will be pledging our devotion to one another publicly in front of you all in a quick 'vow renewal', which will look exactly like a standard wedding ceremony! This will be followed by a cocktail hour, and a formal reception. We moved what would have occurred on January 23rd to July 10th. So it will look as if we are getting married for the first time, we just wont have to sign any legal marriage documents this time :)

After 6.5 years of dating, Michael and I flew off to Italy for our first big vacation! On Day 4 of the trip, we all did a 3 vineyard tour of Chianti, making a stop at Casa Sola Winery. Michael asked to take a photo with me in a very scenic portion of the vineyard grounds. After the photo, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him, among a few other sappy words :) . We got to go to the vineyard and celebrate right after with a delicious wine tasting!

Michael and I both went to William T. Dwyer High School, which is where we met and became friends, though we did not start dating until September 2012, junior year of college, at The University of Florida (Go Gators).
