“For this is all a dream we dreamed one afternoon, long ago”

The night our love story began.. We gathered at a local venue downtown Omaha to hear the Jerry Pranksters play beloved renditions of the Grateful Dead. Andrew was back in town for a short stay after traveling all around the country following Dead and Co, and I was back to help out a dear friend through her last days of pregnancy. United by fate, we locked eyes in that crowded bar and knew there was a spark to be kindled. Andrew asked to borrow a lighter, later admitting he didnt actually need one anyway. We were the last to leave, and spoke of sweet nothings outside the venue. My roommate and I had a hard time finding her car and asked Andrew and his sidekick Nate for a ride in the beemer to find it. They ended up following us back to our place to make sure we made it safely. Upon arrival we stroke up conversation and I realized just how attractive Andrew’s creative mind was. We talked until the sun came up, and as he was leaving, he gave me a hug and softly kissed the nape of my neck. From that moment on, I was his and he was mine. We have traveled far and wide together, starting many new ventures, and even naturally birthed the most amazing baby girl. Our next chapter is marriage! Please help us celebrate our love for eachother and the music of the Grateful Dead, as it fatefully brought us together that night, like it has so many others. NFA
