Wedding season has begun! We went to our first wedding of the season (and first wedding after our own) on May 28th. My coworker was getting married after quite the little quick love story. She had grown up in Cheney all her life (for those non-Washingtonians..that's where I lived for four years while going to EWU). She was homeschooled so she didn't go to the local high school but made friends at her church. Quick sidenote..she is proof that not all homeschoolers end up weird and antisocial..this girl is great! In the summer of 2008, she was accepted as an intern to a senior center in Ireland. So off she went! She is also the reason I have my job because I was offered it the day she told our boss she was leaving. While in Ireland, Jameson, a friend of her best friend Becca, had emailed Becca via facebook to see if she could hook him up with her "very good looking" friend Kalen. Becca had to inform him that she would love to but Kalen was in Ireland. But that didn't stop him, he got the courage to email her on facebook and they continued to write Facebook letters and real life letters back and forth. When she came home for Christmas they finally met up and started to date! He then visited her in Ireland and she came back that summer (and back to us at Meals on Wheels with a new position!) In February they were engaged and then married! They're quite a sweet couple and I know that may have bored you reading about someone you don't know but it's a pretty great example of how someone's courage changed their lives. And how sometimes you have to travel around the world to see the beauty in your backyard :) I was happy to attend her wedding and since I had known her long before we worked together, it was great seeing a girl who works so hard for everything and does it with a smile on her face and humility in her heart, get everything she deserved :)
I did take a pic of their first kiss but it was crappy..so here's a so-so pic of me and a great pic of Brand at the reception.
We should've had the kazoos in our mouths! Those were the favors :)
Well just two more weddings to go!
