HOW THEY MET
Christine and Joe met at the age of 17 while working at Waterway Car Wash in Kirkwood. He was outside washing cars, she was inside working the cash register. The pair had a lot of mutual friends in common and ended up at a lot of social gatherings together. She thought he was cute, so she got his phone number from a friend and yes, SHE texted HIM first! Texting lead to their first date where Joe picked her up and took her to PetCo to buy a fish and the rest is history.... THE PROPOSAL The proposal was PERFECT! It was their second night on the gorgeous island of Grenada. Joe had secretly planned out the entire proposal with the wedding team at Sandals and a fellow Travel Consultant here at Brentwood Travel. He hired a photographer to take photos of them down by the pier and he popped the question during the most beautiful sunset. There were sailboats in the distance and the beach was glowing orange, pink and blue hues. He got down on one knee while Christine was facing away from him and she turned around to find him down on one knee with her Grandmothers vintage engagement ring from her Grandfather. The Sandals wedding coordinator greeted them shortly after with celebratory glasses of champagne and then escorted them to a beautiful candlelit dinner set up right on the beach just for them. It was a proposal they will cherish forever. THE HONEYMOON Christine and Joe will spend two weeks driving the coast of Ireland for their honeymoon. The newlyweds will be staying in beautiful castles and manor homes along the way. They plan on immersing themselves in the culture by enjoying small Irish towns with locals and enjoying each other by spending days on the coast lines of places like Cliffs of Moher and Giants Causeway. |
