The Vespa
We met in Rome... no I did not have Rome goggles; I certainly had my wits about me the whole semester abroad. One night while at an Irish Pub my friends and I "seldom" frequented, I gained enough courage to ask Olivia on a vespa ride about the ancient and highly romantic city. She said no... and ever since I made it my goal in life to one day get on one knee. Someday I will take her on that vespa ride, hopefully before we have grandkids. -the groom
