2/25/23 The day I said yes!
How we met…Her story
Robert and I became friends on Facebook. I typically do not accept people I don’t know in real life as a friend, but I took a chance and thought why not (glad I did!) Robert posted a picture of a pot roast. Pot roasts are one of my favorite meals! It look delicious and I could see that it was made a little different than how I make mine. I inboxed him and asked him what ingredients he uses to make his. He barely told me, but made sure to add a little flirting in the mix. He told me “If given the chance to know you, I’ll make you one someday”. Those that know me know I love to eat. I said “I may take you up on that offer someday” We exchanged numbers at that point. From that moment on we talked every day several times a day. It flowed. Our chats were easy. We had a ton in common! Only issue was I lived in Chicago and he lived in Michigan. Three weeks after talking every day he asked if I would come see him. We booked the flights and I went! To my delight it was even easier in person to talk to and connect with him. The rest was history. We spent every other weekend together after that. 7 months after we got together, Robert asked if I would move to Michigan with him. “ I can’t do this every weekend thing I need you every day” and off I went! My chocolate Teddy Bear ❤️
The Roast and the DM… His story
It started with a roast now we’re here lol. My baby and I met by chance, I seen her profile and definitely thought she was gorgeous. But I didn’t make a move, so one day I posted one of roast meals I prepared and I received a DM inquiring about it. The rest is history, she wanted my recipe but I want her for a meal 😜. So I told her I’d cook her one if we could meet, and we never been apart since. Safe to say she liked her meal and I did as well 😘

FAQs
Question
Can we bring children
Answer
As much as we would love to see your little one, we are not accommodating any children as guests outside of the children in our wedding party. Please come and enjoy the time alone with your plus one (if granted) We would love to have you, but we will have to turn guests away that come with children. And no, there’s no exceptions.
Question
What are the colors
Answer
Our wedding colors are Mint, Grey, and white. There’s been lots of inquiries about this as some would like to wear our colors. Feel free! Or wear whatever you like. It is a formal attire event. We just want the honor of you accompanying us as we embark on this new journey in our lives ❤️
Question
Can I bring a guest/additional guests
Answer
If you’re granted a plus one, yes. You are granted ONE guest. Please do not bring or extend invites to anyone extra. We would hate to have to send anyone home, but if they were not invited by the bride and groom and if they are not the guest list, the host will be coming to check with us to see if it’s ok to let them in. I guarantee you they will be sent home. We have paid for everyone that WE invited per head. Please do not “surprise “ us with YOUR invitees. They will end up with the biggest surprise of having to go home. No exceptions.
Question
Can I still come if I do not RSVP? But you sent me an invitation you know I’m coming!
Answer
No! If you do not RSVP, you are not in the count of who we pay for. It doesn’t matter the relationship. If you can’t take 2 seconds to RSVP, you will be excluded. Just getting an invitation is not your automatic spot in. It just means we would love to share our day with you. But no RSVP means we are going to assume you’re not coming and extend your seat to other guests. If you are not on the guest list you will not be allowed in. And if you do not RSVP, you won’t be on the list.
