Admit it, we Charlotteans have a lot to be thankful for. We have a bustling, sophisticated city to work, live and play in, thriving businesses, excellent universities, professional sports teams, and, most of all, fantastic food!

So I told Julie that I love her and look forward to a long and blissful life together. With one caveat. Well, actually, three. That no matter what we did or where we went, Ansley, my morbidly obese terrier, Collier, my furry four-legged soul mate, and a 1973 2-door Toyota Land Cruiser that I refer to as my Iron Pig, would stay with us to the end of time. Julie agreed wholeheartedly, and the wedding went off without a hitch.
