To make a long story short - JP and I are newlyweds (the blogs title is a play off of our last name). We met a year ago, April 12, 2008, at my friend's art opening. Our first date was a few days later on April 22nd. Within a few days we hit it off and within a few months we knew we were destined to spend the rest of our lives together.
March 27th, JP proposed. His cousin's roommate was throwing a house party and our friend's band was playing. JP arranged to sing "Julia" by the Beatles with the lead singer accompanying on guitar, then got down on one knee to ask me to marry him. It was lovely.
We had originally planned a July wedding, but quickly grew weary of planning a wedding and decided to elope here in Chicago on the one year anniversary of our first date.
So, on April 22, 2009, JP and I were married. We are now Mr. and Mrs. "Tall Tree".
Enjoy.
