“I hit the jackpot with Chad” writes Marci. “I met the perfect man in Chad” she writes again. What an amazing way to feel about the person you’re getting ready to commit the rest of your life to. It is so totally obvious that Chad feels the same way about this amazing woman. You can SEE it when he looks at her. And I know Chad, and I know his looks, and this is what he has been waiting for! FINALLY! This adorable couple, also known as “Charci”, has a great story. They met at a BBQ in 2007 thrown by some mutual friends where Chad asked for her number that night. He put off calling her for weeks, so says Marci, because his wallet was recently stolen and he was waiting on replacement ID and credit cards.Well, the first date did finally happen in downtown Orlando where they started at The Matador. They had an amazing evening of drinks, sushi, music and wonderful conversation. They grew close very quickly and it was soon love. Chad recalls thinking that this could be the one after meeting Marci for the first time. Wow! For Marci, Chad is everything she desires in a husband and so much more!! They are actually quite perfect together

We just couldn’t be more delighted to be a part of Chad & Marci’s wedding. Mike, Chad and I go WAAAAAY back. Mike and Chad worked together for about 8 years at a software company. I remember conversations with Chad about marriage and family. I’d be like “Chad, when are you gonna get married? Don’t you want kids and all? ” He was like “Heck yeah! Look at the big family I come from. Of course I want a wife and kids.” Well, that was many, many moons ago. Mike and I pursued working together and Chad remained at the software company. And life went on. Until… BAM! Chad calls Mike out of the blue and tells him he’s engaged and wants to talk to us about telling their wedding story. We were THRILLED!!!!! We LOVE Chad and are so happy for him. He has found himself the most genuine, sexy, vivacious, beautiful and intelligent woman. We just love Marci now, too!
For their Getting-to-Know-You session, we met downtown where it all started. We ended the evening at The Matador, the scene of their first drinks on their first date and one of their now favorite bars. They also celebrate “Chari” day each year in honor of the day they met at the BBQ. That is awesome.
Thanks, Chad & Marci, for an awesome evening together and for inviting us to be a part of your lives. We are honored and thrilled- especially that Chad is finally getting hitched We are so excited about your Courtyard at Lake Lucerne wedding and reception in November.
