OUR STORY BEGAN with a random Facebook friend request and a three hour conversation. It then led to friending three little birds named Amar, Akbar, Anthony who would signal the end of the night’s conversation with the rising sun. They were there to see the nervous exchange of telephone numbers and the unexpected first phone call.

Heart shaped cookies, cupcakes, and flowers led to a surprise California adventure. A warm afternoon on a sandy beach sealed the deal for one, and led the other to begin planning an extraordinary proposal.

Cheesy lines, hilarious Facebook posts, and mixed up song lyrics all counted down to an unforgettable New Year's Eve. With the first “I LOVE YOU” and a ring, the rest of the world faded away. A boat stood still under and explosion of firewords witnessing the promise of a sparkling future together.

The next chapter of the story brings us all together to celebrate the happily ever after.
