Renato and I met in 2008 at a small college in Portland, OR. I was a 5'2 volleyball player (which confused many) and he was finishing up his studies and looking to obtain an MBA. We periodically would run into one another off and on, mostly because we had the same friend group. Renato's first attempt at asking me out was me inviting our friend to go shopping with us and lunch at chipotle. I was oblivious to what was actually happening. It wasn't until I said bye, got into my friend's car that she looked at me and said "Nato likes you". From that point on I was the nervous girl afraid to speak to the handsome Albanian guy and he the handsome Albanian guy curious about the 5'2 volleyball player. One thing led to another and as many of you know it's been a journey, but one we wouldn't trade for the world. We are so full of joy to be FINALLY planning this beautiful day and we hope with all the love your hearts have given us over the years, as supportive friends and family members, that you will join us on this day. The day we finally say I do! #14yrslater
