Our Story

It was autumn of 2005, Katie’s first day of High School. She wondered nervously what she had gotten herself into as Juniors and Seniors filled the room for Journalism class. Jeff, one of the Seniors, entered the room as well having been taking Journalism for the past few years. It all started with a casual greeting. But neither of them could have anticipated that they were meeting their true love. Now don’t get ahead of yourself. The year that Katie and Jeff spent together in High School was far from romantic. They mostly kept to their own cliques, and when Jeff graduated that year, they no longer kept in touch. But one could say, that the seed had been planted, and it wasn’t until ten years later that it would germinate. You may wonder, what sort of serendipity brought these two back together. Well, if you don’t believe that Facebook has an algorithm to suggest people that you may know to Add as Friends, and if you don’t believe that Facebook has an algorithm that will show you more of an individual’s posts after you click the Like button on their content, then your guess would be as good as mine. But after all those flirtatious likes were exchanged, it wasn’t luck that Katie mustered the bravery to reach out and send an actual message to Jeff after not speaking for a decade. And it ended up being the most important message that was ever sent in their lives. After having spent the last few years cultivating their love for one another, they finally have the honor of making their promises of commitment to one another with their friends and family as witness. And with the evening to celebrate, your company will be welcomed to help write another chapter of Katie and Jeff’s love story that will continue to develop in the years to come.
