Joe and I have been together for a little over 4 years! We first met back at Summit Swim and Tennis Club when I was about 10 and Joe was 8. I was friends with his cousin Jen and with Shannon Tierney. He was friends with Shannon's little brother Brian. We met again at, where else, a swim meet at M. E. Lyons YMCA. He asked me out and we have been together ever since!

We got engaged on October 12th in Savannah Georgia. He took me there for a long weekend and to see one of my favorite chef's, Paula Deen!!! We had dinner at her restaurant and then he took me on a romantic sunset carraige ride through Savannah. We ended at Lafayette Square where he got down on one knee in front of this beautiful fountain and asked me to marry him.

Our wedding is being held at the chapel at Crossroads Community Church on Madison Rd in Cincinnati, OH.
