Our Story

How We Met

Clark and I first met at Elizabeth Collins' house in 1998 through mutual friends. We didn't start dating until a year later. Our first date was at Texas Steak House. Clark had a baseball game that day. After Holly's softball practice she went to Clark's baseball game. After the game, Holly drove Clark :-) to Texas Steak House for our dinner.

The Engagement
April 10, 2007

How It Happened
Clark and Holly planned a trip to Disney World because Holly had never been. On April 10, 2007 (our 8th year) we went to Epcot for the fireworks show. It was such a crappy day. It rained ALL day long. Imagine Holly in a Mickey Mouse poncho. We went to dinner at a Mexican restaurant. An hour before the fireworks show we went to find a good spot to stand. Right before the fireworks show it stopped raining. About halfway through the fireworks show, Clark proposed!!!
