Our Wedding

Phyllis and Ronald went to junior high and high school together in the Pittsburgh, PA Public Schools System. They never became high school sweethearts but, were the best of friends! They both were well known and loved by their high school classmates and teachers. In addition, they both were known to be class clowns and playing pranks on one another throughout high school. After high school, they both chose different paths in life to travel and went their separate ways. Forty-two years later, Phyllis and Ronald met again in the downtown Pittsburgh, PA area and had lunch at the 5th Ave Place. They talked and laughed for hours about the past school days and their life's adventures and experiences. They became best friends again and found they had a lot in common (Love Praising the Lord, Favorite Vacation Place is Virgina Beach, VA, love taking photos together, playing pranks/laughing, playing cards/board games, enjoy football/baseball, Phyl went to her 1st Pittsburgh Pirates Baseball Game (Sept 2023), enjoy watching movies while eating popcorn/ice cream, Love sea food restaurants, traveling throughout the United States and spending time with Family/Friends)! Thereafter, they became a loving couple, got engaged, May 10, 2026 on Mother's Day. Just the beginning, they are looking forward to greater stories in their blessed life's future, Amen!

&#128141;"Our Engagement &#8212; A Day to Remember!"&#128141;
 
Mother&#8217;s Day &#8226; May 10, 2026 &#8226; North Park, Pennsylvania. On a warm and beautiful Mother&#8217;s Day, May 10, 2026, a moment unfolded that would forever live in our hearts. Beneath a clear blue sky, with a gentle breeze moving softly through the air, we stood together in North Park&#8212;surrounded by a perfect stretch of vibrant green grass that felt like nature&#8217;s own celebration. Phyllis looked radiant. She wore a beautiful flower dress that fit her perfectly, flowing gracefully to the tops of her shoes, glowing effortlessly in the sunlight. In that moment, time slowed. With a full heart and unwavering love, I asked the question that would change our lives forever.
 
She said yes. And just like that, the world around us joined in our joy.
We kissed&#8212;lost in the happiness of the moment&#8212;while strangers passing by smiled, paused, and began to clap. Their kindness turned our private moment into a shared celebration. Cars driving past joined in too, honking their horns as if to echo the happiness we felt. Laughter, applause, and love filled the air. What began as a beautiful day became something extraordinary&#8212;a memory wrapped in sunshine, carried by the wind, and witnessed by a world that chose to celebrate with us. That day, in the heart of North Park, we didn&#8217;t just mark a moment&#8212;we began forever.
 
&#10084;&#65039; With love, always, Ronald &#10084;&#65039;
