Let's gather and celebrate family!

Supporting our good friend Sandy in a lip sync battle competition, neither of us really wanted to go out that evening ... but good thing we did. Meeting a small town Iowa boy, I knew Jackson and my mother would approve, and he was insistent on seeing me again. After only a few weeks Cory was thrown into the Hoch family on Christmas Eve, and he survived. The hopes of attending the big family trip to Barbados that was gifted to us 2 years in advance, he held strong and after getting approval from the entire family, he proposed on Worthing Beach, Barbados on our last day. The family headed out on a final Pirate Ship cruise, the captain decided we should have an impromptu wedding on the deck. However, we still want to celebrate more formally (and legally) with all our family and friends.
