We met behind the deli counter at Albertsons. The first time we laid eyes on each other, I was finishing up the last hours of my 12 hour shift and was tasked with the job training Karen. She claims she didn't learn much about the deli but she did learn that I love to talk and that she didn't really like working with me. She continued to work in the deli and she continued to dislike working with me. I still remember the time that she came out of her shell and started teasing me. I was like, where is this coming from? She was so quiet and now she is giving me a hard time. Our friendship slowly started to grow and I noticed something special about her. She started inviting me to church and we began to talk more and more outside of work. About half a year passed and I transferred to a new store to move up in the company. Karen stayed behind. However, instead of seeing her less, we saw each other more and more. Our friendship continued to grow and we began dating. Dating turned into engagement and soon we will be married!! Our love and devotion for each other and God has helped us through some challenging times but we know that great things are in store for our future. Thank you for joining us as we celebrate our love and commitment to each other as we become one.
