Marie & Paul | 3.14.2009|St. John Vianney | Lafayette Park Hotel | Walnut Creek California

Anyone can see that there’s so much love between Paul and Marie… here’s Paul’s version of their story:

It was a dark and stormy night in February when I headed over to Ron’s house to relax, watch television and play videogames after a long day at work. When I arrived at Ron’s home, he had by his side, the most beautiful vision with him. Through the course of the night I discovered that Marie was Ron’s cousin and visiting the United States. I was so smooth and suave during the whole encounter, I apparently made no impression on her. In order to take Marie out, I took both of them with me on my annual wine tasting trip to Napa for Strings.

It was in Napa that I mustered the courage to ask her out. So on March 14, 2007 we went to see the movie, “300”. To tell you the truth, Marie thought we were going out as friends. She had no idea I was trying to take her out on a date. Eventually I finally convinced her of my true intentions and I have been the happiest and luckiest man ever since.

Wow – amazing – exactly 2 years later, they were happily married… best wishes to both of you!
