Our first date was amazing! We ate dinner, played ski ball, and went dancing. It happened to be a family affair - both Luke's cousins and Mallory's brother saw us that night. Hours flew by talking about growing up in Portland; we loved how much history we shared. He bought her wine, she bought him beer, a spark ignited, and the rest is history.

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house Mallory was anxious, she wasn't a spouse! She thought of the joy her favorite holidays bring. "Over soon", she thought too, and she still had no ring! Luke was deeply committed Head over heels in love, More than two years together - the passion! Unheard of. So after a day spent with family laughing, singing, and talking, we came home late in the night to hang up our stockings. While filling the socks with Sweet treats and cat toys, Mallory thought of the future, when she heard a strange noise! So she turned around quick - and what did she see? Why, her future husband, holding a box, and down on one knee. At once we were both overcome with happiness and glee like kids, up late before Christmas Dreaming of our years together instead of gifts under the tree.
