Hi! I'm Tina an older second time around bride who is a crazy cat lady, adores vintage anything, and loves to bake because it relaxes me. I'm a full time single mom to two boys and soon to be step mom to another! I am so happy to have met my best friend who I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with!

Happily married 🎉
