Our story began when we met as coworkers. We'd run into each other occasionally. Eventually "work friends" became "friends" as we started seeing each other outside of work. We got along really well and it seemed maybe "friends" could be something more. One day Deon asked Tamara to a dinner date at the Rustic Oak grill in Hannibal. Turns out Tamara's daughter had just got a gift certificate to that restuarant that they weren't planning on using. It seemed we had God's blessing on that first date.
After dating for several months, we went back to the Rustic Oak. We sat there for a moment in a mostly empty restaurant. Then some of Tamara's close family and friends entered and Deon popped the question. SHE SAID YES!
