Kim & Carlo
We are Kim and Carlo, and this is how it all started for us......
It was about 100 degress and humid on the day we got married on the back porch of Kim's dad's log cabin on his farm in Arkansas. There had been a flood the night before, and the small creek below the cabin had turned into a raging river. The ceremony was about as "small town country" as they ge... View Family |

What do you get when you combine a banker, an archeologist and 700 miles? Well in a word, us – Aaron and Jeanette. Our story starts on a blind date that ran from Chicago to New Orleans, with two people who didn’t know each other and both thought, “There is no way the other is going to fly here to take a chance on someone they have never met”.
