December 18, 2011


Dylan and Henriette met through a mutual friend over six years ago. Even though they lived in different cities, they made it work, and spent weekends and most holidays together. Just like most couples, they faced their ups and downs, but in the end, everything worked out perfectly. In September of 2010, Dylan moved to Orlando to be closer to Henriette.

On their first date, Dylan showed up with beautiful pink roses and Cadbury's chocolate eggs (Henriette's favorite). They went to California Pizza Kitchen where they enjoyed a delicious pizza prior to heading to a viewing of "Hitch". After that, they enjoyed many adventures, from camping in the bed of Dylan's truck in the Keys, to impromptu late night visits when they missed each other.

Dylan proposed on September 29, 2010. He popped the question after the couple enjoyed a fantastic meal at Red Lobster. Henriette knew about the ring (they picked it out together), but she had no clue as to when Dylan would actually propose.

The couple plan to wed on December 18, 2011. A winter wedding will give Dylan's family from Wyoming and Henriette's family from South Africa a chance to make the trip to Florida to celebrate the joyous occasion with the happy lovebirds.
