October 20, 2008 – I said YES! and Louis “put a homemade ring on it” at Joe’s. 

Louis made me a ring with ground wire and a Pandora “I LOVE YOU ❤️” charm because the engagement ring didn’t make it there in time. Steve took pity on Louis and put it on a fabulous platter of desserts! Two months and one week later (12.27.2008) we said “I do.”
