"A whirlwind romance ensued. 5 months in, Kevin is called to war. He receives orders that he has been moved from the reserves to active duty and is being deployed to Afghanistan for 10 months. {We} stay together and make every effort to stay in touch. In addition to letters, we FaceTime almost daily, waking up at odd hours of the night to be able to talk. In September we met up in Italy to take advantage of R&R, the two week break the army allows during tours. On a warm sunny afternoon in Positano, Italy, Kevin popped the question on our balcony overlooking the ocean. He proposed with a ring that {my} mother had sent registered mail from California with a family diamond that had once belonged to my {Lindsay's} great grandfather. We got married almost a year to the date of our engagement in Italy. The ceremony was held at Grace Cathedral and the reception at a private club nearby. Our wedding reflected our story and a love of San Francisco with an traditional, classic style and atmosphere."
