Our Story

By: Corie Posey

We in a modern way...through the internet.  Those of you that know Roberto and I, know that we both like computers, so it's only natural that we met on one.  We met for the first time on June 23rd, 2000, after many e-mails and phone calls. 

Our first date went smoothly.  We ate Chinese food at Yen Cheng's (it's a Japanese steak and seafood place now) in Moline.  We had a great time, and Roberto made me laugh so much that I almost choked a couple of times.  I had to see him again.

 

Our second date wasn't as smooth.  It has come to be known as the "Chi-Chi's Incident."  It was the picture of miscommunication.  We decided to meet at Chi Chi's (a local Mexican restaurant), this was fine...except that there are 2 locations in the Quad Cities.  I went to the one in Moline, he went to the one in Davenport.  Oops!  After a long wait, and both of us thinking that we had been stood up, we went home.  I called him, and got his machine (anyone that knows Julio, Roberto's dad, knows that he never answers the phone), and left him a message.  After a few rounds of phone tag, we finally ended up at the same restaurant.  The second date was memorable to say the least, so we had to go on a third.....then a fourth....fifth...and so on, and so on.  The rest is history.

 

Christmas Day, 2001, Roberto proposed to me.  Without hesitation, I said "yes," and the wedding plans began.  The date is set for Saturday, October 11, 2003.  This is the day that I will marry my best friend.  It all began with two crazy dates.  After about a month, I knew that he was a person that I had to keep in my life.  He makes me laugh, cry (from laughter), and live life to it's fullest.  I look forward to spending my life with him.

 

Now, you know the rest of the story...
