Wedding Party

Richard Waynn Taylor

Groom

When I first saw Miriam, it was love at first site. I knew from the moment she walked onto the bus she was the one. Unfortunately after highschool, we lost touch for many years. In those years we both have been married and have had children. I believe our paths have crossed again at a pinnacle moment in our lives. We know what we do and don't want in a relationship. I am so thankful to have my bestfriend for life, and cannot wait to see where this destined journey will take us.

Miriam Elaine Dobbeck

Bride

I fell in love with Richard when I was just a girl at 14, We started getting serious at 15 and dated till I was 16. He was my first kiss, the first boy to steal my heart. I got to fall in love all over again at the very end of 2017 and I can't wait to be his wife starting in 2020. He is my favorite person. I love him every day. I honestly believe if we had not gone through so much darkness on each of our paths, we would not recognize how wonderful the light is. I hope to be a light in his life for many years to come.

Rich and I haven't known each-other as long as some of the others, We became fast friends when he moved to Carlton and enjoy spending time together and watching sports in his man cave and having an occasional beer. He is a stand up guy and a great person. I am looking forward to the wedding!

Bridesmaid

Miriam and I met in high school through my cousin Amanda. We shared a love for music and we were both in show and concert choir together. Miriam and I traveled to Disney with our choir together with our choir and had a blast ( 1999) Social media has kept us connected but over the last several years we have grown closer and started hanging out beyond Facebook. Our love for music, karaoke, family bbq’s and our kids has kept us connected. Thanksgiving a few years ago Miriam and Rich even invited my kids and I to be a part of their family thanksgiving when we had no place to go. Miriam and Rich are some of my dearest friends and I am so blessed they invited me and my kids to be a part of their special day! So happy for you two! Love ya!
