Our Wedding

We have Bumble to thank for this modern tale of romanceThe app, texting, Facetime, we were ready to advanceTo an Indian restaurant, Eric got the spiciest meal on the menuThus began our love story -- and our insane hot sauce collection, too We both realized this was something special around date number fourEric planned a whole adventure, starting with an Art Nouveau museum tourDinner was back in Durham with conversation that went on and on and onThe date ended with a first kiss mid 'The Office' marathon Then came a whole hosts of firsts, including holidays like New Year's Eve and Valentine'sAn almost-snowed-out first weekend away and then it was finally timeFor meeting each other's families, including guitar and karaoke with Kelly RaeWith her approval, we were ready to say 'I love you' by the sea lions on the Bay From there, our story spans Sushi Tuesdays and the entire Top Chef franchiseWe've fallen asleep on beaches in Turkey and our big trip to France was all smilesOn hometown visits, we've tasted bourbon and seen the famous 'Robert is Here' fruit standHome, away, and even a freezing national championship game -- the Irish have found a new fan Life is best when we're our silly selves, like when we dress up as Taco Bell(e) for HalloweenWe love smoking meat at Grillbillies BBQ and the tweezer plating at Le BernardinEric's joined in on milk glass collecting, Alexandra head bangs at heavy metal showsWe're just two Level 1 Sommeliers making our little Apex townhouse a real home Our engagement was just like us -- a little planned, a little anxious, always in it togetherWe flew up to New York and spent all day listing our favorite things about each otherWe exchanged proposals and tears over champagne before our most fanciest ever dinnerFinished the night at the Top of the Rock, taking pictures of the new one on Alexandra's finger Which brings us to our upcoming wedding, we really can't waitOur love, our partnership, our commitment -- there's much to celebrateBut our story is really much bigger than Alexandra, Eric, and us togetherThis is our chance to appreciate those (you!) who make life all the better
