We love to catch up with our favorite couples during the holidays.
Tim and Hoda Deluvia recently welcomed a baby boy to their family.
Here’s a look back at their special day.
Our favorite moment was our first dance, which was to Keith
Urban’s “Memories of Us,” Hoda said. “That was the first song Tim
asked me to dance to one night when we were randomly hanging out
in the backyard, so we chose it for our first dance at the reception.”
Tim proposed when he took Hoda out to Brio for a romantic dinner
GAZELLE STL
on “date” night. “After dinner, we stopped by Starbucks for a
couple of hot beverages, and he suggested we go to the World’s Fair
Pavilion in Forest Park. When we got there, we realized there was
a band performing and lots of people enjoying the music. It was a
beautiful cool fall night, and he looked so handsome.”
Before she knew it, he got down on one knee and opened a small, gray
box that held the most beautiful ring she had ever laid her eyes on and
asked if she would spend the rest of her life with him. “I was in tears,
and I said, ‘yes!’ It was everything I could ever ask for,” she said.
