A Philippine Slovak Wedding in America
If you are a returning reader to our blog, you will know that the partnership behind this blog is getting married Saturday, May 28, in Sarasota, FL. If you’re a new reader and you didn’t know this, well, now you know as well! I proposed to Ruby in April 2014 in a historic Slovak castle, and it has taken 13 months to get to this point.

How We Met: The Courtship
If you’re curious about how we met, it all began on a boring Wednesday afternoon in the middle of October 2013, I received a blinking instant communicator message on my work computer from someone named Rubilyn. (Yes, we work together at the same company) The message stated: “Hey, I have a vacation planned from Boxing Day to New Year’s in New York City. Are you going to be in the office during that time? Just checking so we aren’t out at the same time.” And that, my friends, is how we met and began the courtship of Ruby by a guy named Peter Our first date was at St. John’s…
