Wendy & Evan in Fredericksburg, TX

After five years of dating, Evan Taddia took his girlfriend, Wendy Kochis, on a surprise trip to the Bahamas as an early graduation present. Though Wendy had noticed that Evan had been acting a little odd lately, she chalked it up to her own nervousness that school was ending and she had no idea what was really in store for her. The Bride Wendy Kochis The Groom Evan Taddia The Date April 16 One evening, after a nap in their hotel room, she joined Evan in the resort’s cocktail lounge. As they entered, the band leader announced that a man in the audience wanted to make a special presentation that evening, and Evan shocked Wendy by heading to the front. As Wendy joined him on stage, a choked-up Evan dropped to one knee. Wendy, naturally, said yes.
