Mardi Gras- 2016 We were invited to Mardi Gras in Soulard by our two friends who were dating at the time (They married in 2018!). Nicholas had been friends with Eric since middle school. Danielle and Alexis were the same. Nicholas and Danielle had such a wonderful time together, that the next day Nick asked Danielle on an official date. Two days later, Nicholas took Danielle to her first St. Louis Blues game. He laid on extra-charm by splurging for All-Inclusive front row-glass seats. The following weekend was Valentines' Day-where Nicholas asked her to be his. <3

Amelia Grace and Penelope Celeste are forever the best things we will do in this lifetime. They have made our love stronger, taught us patience, and shown us what unconditional love can be.

On the anniversary of when we first met, Nicholas made reservations at The Melting Pot. Sweaty hands and all, Nicholas got down on one knee, and popped the longed anticipated question!
