A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... Just Kidding. In the Summer of 2015, I had just moved to California as a newly established Hospital Corpsman in the Navy and was without friends or family; for the first time, completely on my own. That can be very lonely. Luckily enough the Internet was rife with ways to make friends and I happen to swipe right on the profile of the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. So I took a leap and reached out. As you all know, I am a giant nerd and not very smooth, but she didn't seem to mind. She took a chance on this complete stranger and now here we are. The road so far has not been without it's trials, but through it all, we have persisted. I am beyond blessed to have found my dance partner and Melissa and I are both honored to have you all share our marvelous day with us. Thank you for coming to stand for us and bear witness to our commitment to each other and the love we share. In the immortal words of a great man, 'nuff said. ~Ciaran
