We are getting married!

Mike and I met at Saturday Academy in Christopher Columbus Middle School, we co-taught math and language arts. He was in the classroom very early setting up for teaching. By the time I was in, he had everything ready to start with math games, handouts, folders and the smartboard. We were a good team, we were colleagues until he ....

he saw me again at school 12, he smiled and I noticed something different with him. To my surprise, when he came around the classroom to catch up, he asked me out for coffee. I said, "sure!" He ended up taking me to Paisano's Restaurant in Rutherford for our first date. He says, he was nervous but all I saw was an overjoyed guy that would not stop staring at me. He was sweet and a gentleman, knowing I am vegan, he also order a vegetarian dish for dinner... we continued dating and he asked me to be his girlfriend so the following year.....

Mike and I got engaged at Downtown Kissimmee, Florida. Whoopie! He drove me to Lake Toho in downtown Kissimmee and on the wedding lawn, he stopped and made his proposal. He said, "would you marry me" this time he was nervous, but I was filled with joy since I felt that he was the one after our first date. We both love nature, hiking, and the outdoors and so our wedding will be on the same place he proposed. The word Toho, short, for Tohopekaliga, it's a native name meaning "we will gather together here" and so we will gather together here on December 28, 2019 to celebrate our love!
