We’re getting married!

We meet back in 2013. Donald was working at the Disney Reservation Center in Tampa. Heather's mom, Tina, had been working at the DCR since Heather was younger. Heather had been in and out of that building since she was a young girl. Donald was originally on Tina’s work team, and everyone that knew the two of us knew we'd be magic together. On September 22nd, 2013, we had our first official date. Donald took Heather to Maggiano’s Little Italy at Westshore Plaza and gave her the best first date she’d ever had. As Donald was driving home afterwards, he regretted not asking Heather to be his girlfriend. We both knew this was something rare and special, and even though we were both scared to jump back into relationships, this felt different and natural. Donald called Heather that evening, and we officially became a couple. The next five years were full of new and nerve racking adventures. Between new jobs, their first apartment together, and lots of trips around North America, Donald suggested we travel to Paris, France for our five year anniversary. There in Parc de Bagatelle in a beautiful white gazebo surrounded by the most stunning roses the world had to offer, Donald got down on one knee and asked Heather to become his wife. This year we celebrate our eighth year together. Eight years of laughter, tears, highs, and lows. While neither one of us are perfect, we bring out the best in each other. We couldn’t be more excited or ready to join together as Mr. and Mrs. McNeill.
