Thank you to everyone who has congratulated us on our engagement in Marco Island! We feel truly blessed to have so many people be apart of this special time and I'm so happy to have this article represent the most incredible day of my life. I can always look back and reminisce on how my fiancé asked me to marry him. We are missing Marco Island very much, so we'll be back once he returns from Iraq. Thank you Marco Island!!!
