Jane's Wedding...
So, I've known Jane for over a decade, and throughout this time, she has been on a quest. For what, you ask? A husband. And not just any husband. The perfect husband. For her. And we, her friends and humble servants, tried and tried to aid her in this search, but to no avail. But finally, after moving a few times and landing in Pekin to settle, buying a house and then a dog, Jane was fast approaching 40, so she did what any perfect-father-of-my-children woman would do: she completed her profile on EHarmony.com, and it didn't take long to find Matthew. Where was he this whole time? About a mile from her house! Congratulations, Jane! You deserve the best - enjoy your honeymoon in California!!
Enjoy the photos...
A peek at Jane's bouquet.
Kristin was the flowergirl and quite charming.

Boogie down, Cali!

Ambushed!!
Swing your partner 'round and 'round
Lots of dancing...
...and flipping...
...and swingin'...
...and twirling...
...'round and 'round - makes me dizzy!
Congrats, Janie!!

I met JimtheLimey online. Not through a dating service, just through chatting on yahoo. We told my gramma we met through "correspondence" or "we were like penpals". Unfortunately, he was not just a mile from my house.
So I imported me a husband. :)
When she decided she was going in the wrong direction with her schooling and wanted to change her major to nursing, she had to move back to the states. That was when we were forced into the marriage thing.
