The bride and groom to be met at a nursing review center in Madison, WI. Where they were both shipped off by their parents to focus, study and be successful by passing the NCLEX exam to become nurses. Gerrard was tall, dark and handsome with a mischievous smile walking down the halls, while Meese was in her own world jamming out with her headphones on and rocking her Chicago sports team t-shirts, but Gerrard couldn't help but notice Meese's adorable dimples and unique looks . Gerrard was persistent on catching Meese's attention! Every morning he would knock on Meese's door and would share his breakfast cheerios and milk with her, even though she insisted that she did not eat breakfast in the morning and would rather sleep. Meese couldn't help but finally fall for Gerrard after he busted out his dance moves on the dance floor and mean while Gerrard fell even harder for Meese after witnessing her jump shot on the basketball court. The two became study buddies, basketball teammates, food date partners and developed an inseparable bond. After the review they went on to battle a long distance relationship between Chicago and Houston for 2 years, which eventually led Meese to move to Houston, TX and accepted an ER position to pursue her career, as well as to move forward with their relationship. Over the years the two have been traveling the world, one adventure at a time.
Pravcicka Brana is a sandstone arch that has been standing since the immemorial time located in the Bohemian Switzerland National Park. On April 1st, 2019 (April fools day) Gerrard took Meese on a surprise trip to Prague, Czech Republic where they hiked a challenging 12 miles together to the top of the scenic national park where the sun glazed down on the sandstone arch of the Pravcicka Brana. As the two were adoring the views and the moment, Gerrard embraced Meese tightly from behind and asked her, "Baby do you know how much I l love you?", while she replied, "ehh sometimes you love me" ... while he giggled and turned her around, he then got down on one knee and asked his beautiful bride to be to marry him and to spend the rest of their lives together, as one. With the importance of the Pravcicka Brana that still stood strong and high throughout the years and all the conditions along the way. While Meese started crying because she thought he was playing a terrible April fools joke on her, because she has been waiting and waiting for years for this exact moment. And after looking into Gerrard's eyes and the listening to the sound of his voice, she realized IT WAS FINALLY HAPPENING! BUT Meese still waited a few days to share the news, JUST in case he was joking!
