Our love story tradition:

On my birthday some years ago, Julio drove me to visit my nana after she passed so that I could pay homage to her. I begged her to help me fill the emptiness in my heart now that she was gone. Little did I know she, and God would answer my prayer in a very unusual way! Julio surprised me with a bbq date to a small but well know joint called Biscuits and Barbeque. I kid you not when I say the ribs there changed my life but more than that I felt whole and so full of love for the first time since her passing. At that moment we agreed that Barbeque dates would be our signature thing. And a few years it would be the backdrop to the next stage in our lives. Our honeymoon will be a road trip down the east coast to find the best rib houses there are and document it for all to see!

After being long distance I visited Julio in Florida and, obviously we went on our rib date. We did our usual of pretending to be food critiques and rating the ribs, sides, sauces you name it! After all was said and done (we gave the place a solid 6, ribs were good but the sides? Needed a lot of work!) Julio looked at me and said " I enjoy these dates with you" I responded, "Me too!" Julio continued, "I can do this forever" and I responded "me too!" and that's when I noticed the ring box! Needless to say I said yes and so here we are, gearing up to share our joy with the important people in our lives!
