Nanou: When I first met Rick, he just seemed like a smooth talker trying to pick me up. While I must admit his suave demeanor was attractive, it was his sweet and thoughtful side that really drew me in, and the rest is history :)

Rick: I heard her laughter before I saw her smile. I said something to get her attention, and she turned to look at me. There was that smile, and I saw those eyes for the first time, and by the time I realized she lived five thousand miles away, it didn't matter. A year and many thousands of frequent flier miles later, I held her hand in Laurelhurst Park and told her I wanted her to move back to Portland and marry me, in that order. Our paths had crossed, and crossed again, and now our paths would become one.
