Tell us how you first met? who what when where why? give us the dirty details.
Brad: Initially, we met in a Virology class at SIUE. After I graduated I ran back into Alli at Mardi Gras and then we started dating. I was with my best man Clint on a cold February day. We were wandering around Soulard when I turned around and saw Alli. We exchanged numbers and the rest is history.
Alli: That pretty much sums it up. We had mutual friends in college but we were never really in the same place at the same time. Then in the last place you ever imagine meeting someone I turned around and Brad was just standing behind me. I whispered to my friend, “I think I know that guy.” He asked for my number and we started dating a few weeks later!

When did you know he/she was the one? Was there something he/she did?, etc.
Brad: I knew Alli was the one within a few weeks of dating. She was so caring and understanding…and cute! After we moved to Houston, I didn’t want to go another day without her knowing I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her.
Alli: I can’t remember a lighting bolt moment where I knew Brad was the one. I just knew from very early on that I didn’t want to imagine my life with out him.

Tell us about the proposal. (Did you see it coming, how long was it in the planning?, how did you feel? nervous, excited, freaking out?)
Brad: We had looked at rings and I knew her top 3 so I ordered it and planned everything in about a week. I was really excited! She’s such a special girl so I decided to go all out with a Ferrari and a Helicopter.
Alli: I had an inkling that something might be up. I had gone home for a weekend to visit some of my friends and family. While I was there Brad started texting me hinting that he wanted to go to dinner and borrow a friends Ferrari. He’s always been a car enthusiast so at first I didn’t think anything of it. It wasn’t until I was at work telling my co-worker about about our weekend plans when she goes, “You know he’s going to propose, right?” From then on I became a little more suspicious. Brad will tell you I’m a very curious person so it takes a lot to surprise me. Once we got into the Ferrari on our way to dinner, he tells me that he has to make a stop at a clients house before dinner. When we pull up to the clients house, he has a Helicopter in his backyard running. Brad played it off very cool by saying, “Oh WOW! He has his Helicopter out!” Due to his reaction, I didn’t think the Helicopter was part of the plan….I’m still thinking we are out of here in 5 minutes and heading to dinner. Well I was way off base…within 5 minutes we were in the Helicopter flying around the Houston skyline. Brad had placed a large banner on top of a building that said, “Will You Marry Me?” It took me about 45 seconds to realize that we were the only flying object in the sky and that the banner was meant for me! I was so shocked, in no way did I anticipate any proposal like that!

Tell is the one thing you love most about each other.
Brad: She’s so damn cute!
Alli: One thing….it’s hard to choose one thing. Brad has so many great qualities. He’s my best friend, I love that we can do nothing and still have fun together.

Share with us something silly or quirky the other person does.
Brad: When she’s sleepy, she’ll rub the cartilage on her ear. :)
Alli: He likes to make up little songs about things that make him happy. :)

Besides getting married – whats the one thing you are looking forward to on your wedding day?
Brad: Seeing everyone that I haven’t seen in such a long time & dancing!
Alli: I’m just excited for the day. I love Saint Louis, so I’m excited to be back and see friends and family. I can’t wait to see all the planning finally come together!

Tell us how you first met? who what when where why? give us the dirty details.
Shannon and I had seen each other a few times before, mainly out on the river or at certain functions where we were with fellow acquaintances. Actually, to be completely honest, Shannon was one of the guys that ran around with my brother and his group of friends. It wasn’t until I was home from college on a family visit, that Shannon and I really connected. I always had a bit of a crush on him and vice versa obviously!

When did you know he/she was the one? Was there something he/she did?, etc.
From the very beginning! We were head over heals and knew from the start that we were meant to be together.

Tell us about the proposal. (Did you see it coming, how long was it in the planning?, how did you feel? nervous, excited, freaking out?)
Shannon said he had thought of all kinds of scenarios to purpose, but once Shannon received my parents blessing he simply could not wait. He rushed home, got down on one knee and asked for my hand in marriage. There was excitement, love, laughter and tears. It was a very special moment, one that we have both wanted for quite some time.

Tell is the one thing you love most about each other.
We are each other’s best friend! Our relationship is filled with love and laughter. He can bring a smile to my face even at the worst of times.

Besides getting married – whats the one thing you are looking forward to on your wedding day?
Seeing Shannon for the first time as I walk down the aisle. One Big Party…celebrating with the people that mean the most to us! Amazing photography to capture memories of a life time!

Tell us how you first met.
Dan and I met at Bar Napoli (in Clayton, MO). I was out with a few friends, and kept noticing this guy standing across the bar staring at me. So, I went up and started talking to Dan (although Dan would probably say he came over and started talking to me)! Dan asked me for my phone number, and he called over the next week asking me out. The following weekend we met up with friends at the same place. While we were talking, one of my friends (Katherine) came up and said “Alisa, you know my brother?” Dan was her older brother! Then another friend came up and said “Alisa, you know Dan Cuneo?” Apparently everyone knew him but me!






Dan had both of our parents on the way over to the house. His parents knew what was going on, but mine thought they were coming over to help hang shelves and picture frames for the party. Dan had asked my parents’ permission earlier in the week, but told them he was still looking at rings. They were completely surprised when they finally noticed the ring on my finger after being at the house for a few minutes. Dan had gotten a bottle of Dom Perignon and we all toasted to the good news! Then all of our family and friends were able to celebrate with us at our Christmas party the next day.

Alisa loves Dan’s generosity and care for others (me, my family, his family, my friends, his friends).
Dan loves Alisa’s smile and compassion for others.



Spending the entire day with our family and friends!

//Tell us how you first met? who what when where why? give us the dirty details.
Ryan and Ali became friends early in high school. They parted ways after high school graduation when Ali went to Texas Christian University and Ryan attended Mizzou. The two remained acquaintances and hung out over college breaks, but it was not the right time to pursue anything more than friendship… Until August of 2012. In August, Ryan and Ali decided to hang out again as friends… or so they thought. They quickly realized there was something special between them. Before long, there was talk of marriage. The two feel so blessed to experience something God has been preparing for a long time.


//When did you know he/she was the one? Was there something he/she did?, etc.
From Ryan’s perspective
Ali is the most amazing girl I have met. She is very loving and caring to all in her life. She is always thinking about other people and how she can help out. Ali is also incredibly smart. I love discussing perplexing issues with her because she always has a thoughtful opinion or response. Also, Ali’s faith is strong which pushes me to continue to grow this area of my life. Lastly, Ali has the best sense of humor of any girl I know. I love her jokes and she makes me laugh regularly. Also, she laughs at most of my jokes which is a good thing (no matter whether her laughs are real or fake). By our third date, I knew there was something special. We were having the best night just walking around the streets of downtown St. Louis after a Cardinals game. We were talking, laughing, and just enjoying each others’ company. After that night, I knew I would enjoy being with Ali no matter what we were doing.
From Ali’s perspective
Ryan is the greatest man I know. I love his smile and I love the way he makes me smile. Ryan is family-oriented, quick-witted, thoughtful, funny, kind and he loves dogs! He is actively growing in his faith independent of me, but I love that he opens up to me about what he is learning about God. He helps out without being asked. He strives to be excellent in everything he does. He is hard working and loves to have fun. He is unbelievably sweet, but not too corny. He is strong and confident, but also very respectful. Ryan is the perfect combination for me and I could never have imagined such an amazing man existed. I am so blessed to be his future wife.

//Tell us about the proposal.
When Ryan said the “L-word”, I wasn’t terrified (which was surprising and awesome). We quickly talked about our future together. We realized that we were ready to commit to each other and started thinking about a timeline. We thought about how long we needed to wait so that people didn’t think we were crazy… Then we realized it doesn’t really matter what people think. We were completely in love and ready to make that step. We had been dating a little over 2 months when we got engaged. Ryan and I went and picked out the ring. He wanted to do something very romantic for the proposal, but I told him I didn’t want to wait for him to come up with a romantic plan. I told him that the things he said to me everyday are better than most of the engagement stories I hear. I explained that I would rather have him continue being amazing daily than come up with a one time romantic proposal. So, one afternoon in late October, Ryan came over, gave me 2 dozen roses, told me several reasons he wanted to marry me, got on a knee and popped the question! I said YES before he even showed me the AMAZINGLY beautiful ring!




//Tell is the one thing you love most about each other.
I don’t know if I can narrow it down to one thing… I love the way he loves me for who I am and the way he makes me smile and giggle.
//Besides getting married – whats the one thing you are looking forward to on your wedding day?
I am looking forward to seeing Ryan’s face as I walk down the aisle toward him!

By the end of most weddings I am so exhausted and ready to be home. But with Lauren and Sloan I was so disappointed to have the day end! We had so much fun working with them and their group which made for some amazing pictures that I couldn’t resist sharing! It was so hard for me to narrow these down, enjoy the sneak peak!
