Dallas & Roy began their journey February 1, 2007 through a chance encounter at the gym. He, Director of Operations of said gym, and she, running late for a tour of the same with one of his staffers, came together by happenstance and hit it off from the start.

What started as friendly banter about and on cardio equipment soon parlayed itself into a number of flirty emails over MySpace and ultimately to in-person meetings. Over the next week the couple enjoyed three amazing first dates over coffee at a local coffee shop / book store, sushi at a restaurant that would soon become a couple’s favorite Friday night outing, and dueling pianos at a neighborhood bar.

In their first whirlwind month, the couple racked up over $1200 in mutual phone bills as they couldn’t wait for the next call or text from the other. It was an instant attraction and a strong bond quickly formed between the two, and they just couldn’t get enough of each other! Love at first sight…or for the skeptics out there, an immediate realization from the two that this attraction was something amazing and unlike anything they’d ever experienced before.

In the last year they have blended their pet families and are now the proud “parents” of two spoiled pups Naughty and Doglass and three kitties Otis, Jake and Zeus. In December they bought their first condo together to house the menagerie, and have been working ever since to make the house their home.

And now, August 8, 2008 – 8.8.8 – the couple looks forward to lifetime together of happiness, friendship, and love as they plan for their upcoming Vegas nuptials. Please check back often for updates and opportunities regarding the wedding and reception. We turn to our friends, family, colleagues and our community for support and advice as we continue upon our journey.

Thank you all for your love and support. We wouldn’t be us without you! And in the spirit of the Olympics beginning the same day, let the games begin!
