Joetta and I met at our work at the time in 2011.  We became friends and eventually started dating in October in 2013. 

In 2016 we decided we wanted to get married and started reviewing options on where, when, and how. 

We finally decided on marrying in Italy in September of 2017 to give us plenty of time to make the arrangements. 

The only downfall would be that our friends and family would have a hard time making that trip.
