It was a damp morning when all the canvassers gathered in Mid City on election day. Suzy Montero was running for judge and after collecting all the supplies, everyone was quickly whisked off into separate locations to knock on doors and hold up signs. Assigned to the same spot, William and Julie spoke for the first time. While the rest of the canvassers went door to door, only the two remained in the neutral ground setting up and getting to know each other. Through fits of thunderstorms that day Julie continued enthusiastically waving a sopping wet sign and William chased the tent blowing away down the road. After a long day's work, the two attended the election-night party, hoping to reconvene with each other, and after a couple of generously poured gin and tonics, they had sealed their fate. Back at home, they stayed up late that night texting. Little did she know, William had spotted Julie early that morning and had made a point to talk to her. Little did he know, she was texting so excitedly that a cheese stick she was eating in bed melted on her laptop, where a stain remains to this day.
The world was feeling a little under the weather the first time around, we are so sorry we couldn't celebrate with you when we said, "I do," "Does someone walk the mother of the bride to her seat?" "Does it matter? In front of 8 people? There are no bridesmaids!" Questions flashed through the couple's heads on their gorgeous wedding day. There was not much time to decide these things as everyone arrived in the same 3 cars. William stood with his brother and best man, looking handsome and eagerly awaiting his bride. Julie had just finished her makeup but was touching up her eyes after a touching prayer led by her father that made everyone cry. The milling around song was coming to an end and it was about to start. "Which side do I walk on?" Julie whispered loudly to the photographer before exiting the building. Her and her father quickly switched places. There had been no rehearsal but if they messed up it would only be in front of 12 of their closest family members. William tried not to tear up as she walked down the aisle in a short dress and red shoes. It was a hot sunny day even at 6pm, all were sweating but it didn't matter because joy was in the air. Vows were read, I do's were said, "Some Things Never Change" from Frozen 2 boomed through and champagne was handed out. We can't wait to see you when we say "I still do!"
